A clamp for a wire of an overhead line comprising a main body has a groove for hosting the wire, a first and a second tapered region located in respective ends of the groove, and a first and a second spring placed in respective holes on opposite sides of the groove. The first and second springs are located in a central portion of the groove and are arranged for pushing respective wedges into the tapered regions in opposite directions. The wedges are arranged for tightening the wire by blocking between the wire itself and a wall of the respective first and second tapered region.

A system for monitoring current and voltage from a power source or load at the tap wire connected to an overhead distribution power line, the distribution power line being spaced apart from the ground is provided. The system includes a current clamp sensor coupled to the tap wire and spaced apart from the distribution power line. A sensor is insulated body coupled to the current clamp, the sensor body being configured to simultaneously measure voltage on the overhead distribution power line and current of the tap wire prior to the distribution power line. A mounting assembly is provided that suspends the sensor from the distribution power line, the mounting assembly being coupled between the distribution power line and the current clamp.

A grounding system, structured to ground a number of cables supported by a support assembly, includes a multi-function line assembly and a number of conductive mounting assemblies. Each conductive mounting assembly is structured to be coupled to the multi-function line and to a conductive pile.

A drop wire clamp to secure a cable that comprise an outer shell and an inner wedge. The outer shell having a first wall, a second wall, and a shell base to couple the first wall with the second wall. The shell base further defines a shell channel. An inner wedge is receivable in the outer shell and movable between a first position and a second position within the outer shell. The inner wedge has a wedge base defining a wedge channel, wherein the shell channel aligns with the wedge channel in the second position to form a containment structure to house a cable therein. The containment structure includes a length dimension and a width dimension, wherein the length dimension is greater than the width dimension and the length dimension extends in a same direction as the shell base of the outer shell.

The invention relates to a support structure for an optical fiber cable (7) adapted to be aerially installed in a configuration, extending generally horizontally along a series of spaced apart vertical pilots, said support structure comprising: An approximately c-shaped support element (2) with an open hollow (3), prepared for the incorporation of an optical fiber cable (7); at least one longitudinal strength member (6) integrated in the c-shaped support element (2); wherein the optical fiber cable (7) is movable arranged in the hollow (3) of the support element (2).

A clamp for suspending a wire includes a housing having an inner support surface. The wire is disposed between the inner support surface and a keeper. The clamp further includes a fastening unit, including a first fastener and a second fastener attachable to the first fastener. The housing defines an opening extending in a direction along which the wire is received within the housing. After the second fastener is attached to the first fastener, the fastening unit is not removable from the housing. The fastening unit is movable, within the opening, between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the fastening unit cooperates with the keeper to decrease a distance between the inner support surface and the keeper. In the second position, the fastening unit does not cooperate with the keeper to decrease the distance.

Provided is a method for performing uninterruptible power distribution work within a working section in a de-energized line state by separating wires within a pole-to-pole span by means of an insulated live wire grip and a bypass jumper cable, wherein: uninterruptible power distribution work can be forcibly performed directly on a live wire between poles located at the beginning and end of a working section without installing a bypass cable at the work site, and the work process employs a direct power transmission method in which power distribution work is performed by bypassing new and old wires, whereby, even when transformers are located at several points within a working section, uninterruptible power distribution work can be performed via one uninterruptible transformer apparatus by using, as the interruptible power distribution method.

A grounding system, structured to ground a number of cables supported by a support assembly, includes a multi-function line assembly and a number of conductive mounting assemblies. Each conductive mounting assembly is structured to be coupled to the multi-function line and to a conductive pile.

An apparatus and method of assembling a bracket assembly on a cross-arm is disclosed. The bracket assembly comprises a bracket, adjustable plate, first accessory frame, and second accessory frame. First accessory frame and second accessory bracket are coupled to the bracket with captive nuts. The bracket assembly is secured to a cross-arm by the adjustable plate, which is coupled to the bracket with at least one guide pin and an adjustable plate bolt.

The technology relates to an electric current conducting assembly, more specifically with the incorporation of a dead end shoe.
