Features:

  • The interlocking pins of the bushing ensure proper alignment and maintain insert position once installed over the conductor. This eliminates the need for taping as found with traditional 2-piece designs.
  • Hinge resistance maintains clamp position without the need for continuous handling once the unit is located over the rods. The design ensures positive alignment for the housing halves and eliminates the need for the conventional strap which is both time-consuming and challenging to install.

Description

The Hinged Armor Wire Suspension Unit (HAWS) is designed to reduce the static and dynamic stress at the support point of transmission and distribution lines. This allows the conductor to better withstand the effects of aeolian vibration and wind-induced oscillation. The HAWS unit also helps protect the conductor against flashover in the support area. It is designed for use with ACSR, AAC, AAAC, and ACAR conductors as well as Alumoweld® and steel ground wire.
