Definitions

  • the present invention relates to spacers for twin of multiple conductors of aerial high voltage transmission lines, designed to permit the elastic movements and displacements of the conductors in every direction and to maintain the electrical connection between them all, whilst eliminating the above mentioned drawbacks.
  • the spacer according to the invention substantially consists of a flexible deformable metallic curvilinear element, combined with dependable clamps to be connected with the conductors.
  • Said metallic curvilinear element can have any sort of shape, either closed or open.
  • means can, however, be provided for counteracting the deformation of the spacers beyond pre-established limits.
  • Fig. 1 shows an annular metallic spacer for a twin conductor.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show two alternatives to the preceding solution.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show an open type spacer for twin conductors.
  • Fig. 6 shows a closed type spacer for quadruple conductors.
  • Figs. 7 and 8 show a spacer for multiple conductors.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates a spacer for twin conductors with limited flexibility.
  • 1 are the conductors
  • 2 indicates the flexible deformable metallic elements connected to the conductors 1 by means of clamps 3 so as to form an electrical bridge between said conductors, keeping them yieldingly interspaced.
  • Said flexible deformable metallic elements have the shape of a circular ring in the embodiment according to Figs. 1 and 2, but, whilst in Fig. 1 they are arranged in the same horizontal plane of the conductors, they are located at right angles to the plane of the conductors in the embodiment of Fig. 2.
  • the flexible deformable metallic elements are oval in shape and are arranged on the same vertical plane of the conductors.
  • flexible deformable metallic elements have the shape of Patented Sept. 20, '1960 "an open curve and, more particularly,- they have a C- shape on Fig. 4 and an S-shape on Fig. 5. .
  • the flexible deformablemetallic element has the shape of a closed mixed line, all the rectilinear portions of which are connected to the conductors 1 by means of clamps 3, whilst the curvilinear portions consist in half-rings interconnecting alternatively opposite pairs of extremities of the rectilinear portions, the structure of said spacer deriving from that shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 8 is analogous to the one of Fig. 7, but for the fact that the spacer derives its structure from the one shown in Fig. 5, whereby between each pair of conductors there is a free rectilinear portion of the spacer.
  • Fig. 9 shows a flexible deformable metallic element consisting in a circular ring 2, which is limited in its flexibility by means of a rod 4 fixed on two diametrally opposite points of said ring. Said rod can also be formed so as to be capable of lengthwise automatic adjustment.
  • the metallic curvilinear elements can consist either of a suitably curved rod or of a rope with free or interlaced spires.
  • the closed ring type can particularly be formed by a single steel wire wound up on itself in a spiraloid form.
  • the flexibility of the flexible deformable metallic elements will depend not only on the shape thereof and the nature of the material employed for their manufacture, but also on the number, pitch and section of the spires.
  • a spacer comprising a flexible deformable metallic curvilinear element constituted by a Wire rope positioned between said conductors, said rope forming an open loop whereby the said conductors are held in spaced apart relation by elastic forces of the said rope, and electrically conductive clamp means on said element firmly connecting each of the said conductors to an adjacent portion of said element.
  • a spacer comprising a flexible deformable metallic curvilinear element constituted by a wire rope positioned between said conductors, said rope forming a closed loop whereby the said conductors are held in spaced apart relation by elastic forces of the said rope, and a plurality of electrically conductive clamps on said element firmly connecting each of the said conductors to an adjacent portion of said element.
  • Spacer for twin and multiple conductors of high voltage, high power, aerial transmission lines comprising a flexible, deformable, resilient, metallic, curvilinear element constituted by a Wire rope positioned between said conductors; said element having a normal, unstressed shape conforming to a closed ring and being elastically deformable in response to forces imposed thereon by the conductors; and electrically conductive clamp means on said element adapted to firmly connect each of the conductors to an adjacent portion of said element.
