Bolted Cable Spacer

Bolted cable spacers are clamps made of high strength materials like aluminium. They are used to separate cables in electrical installations ensuring proper spacing between two cables and preventing slack.

When electrical cables come into contact with each other or have slack along their length, they can become prone to loose cable damage. Bolted cable spacers help to prevent this type of damage by ensuring that adjacent cables are properly spaced for durability of the cables and efficient electrical transmission.

The structure of the cable spacer features a main body with mounting holes on either side. The mounting holes clamp onto the cables that need to be separated and are secured using screws and bolts for a firm grip. Sealants may also be used to ensure a firm connection between the cable spacer and the cable.

Bolted cable spacers are typically available in different sizes such as 8 inches or 12 inches. This means that the spacing achieved between cables will depend on the size of the spacer.  Voltage capacities can also vary to suit different use cases. Additionally, some cable spacers are only recommended for slack spans so it is essential to choose spacers based on the specific use and installation requirements.

To withstand environmental damage, cable spacers are made of durable materials like aluminium that can resist corrosion and damage from constant exposure to UV rays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bolted cable spacer?

A bolted cable spacer is a device used in electrical installations to separate cables and prevent slack or sagging. The spacer effectively maintains a proper space between two adjacent cables preventing cable damage and ensuring reliable electrical transmission.

What are the main applications of bolted cable spacers?

Cable spacers can be used in any installations where transmission cables are installed adjacent to one another. They are commonly used in overhead electrical transmission infrastructure as well as substations.

How do you install a bolted cable spacer?

The body of the cable spacer comes with mounting holes on both ends. Each mounting hole is clamped onto a cable and fastened with a bolt or screw. This creates proper spacing between two cables by securing adjacent cable on opposite ends of the cable spacer.

Are there different types of bolted cable spacers?

Yes, bolted cable spacers come in different sizes including custom sizes to suit different applications. While some cable spaces are rated for specific voltages, some are only designed for slack spans only and cannot be used in transmission lines.
