ANTIGALLOPING DEVICE

摘要

An antigalloping device can include first and second clamps, each having a respective jaw for clamping to respective first and second cables. A connecting assembly can be coupled between the first and second clamps. The connecting assembly can include an elongate insulator attached to a flexible tether. The flexible tether is capable of being bent and maneuvered during installation. At least one of the first and second clamps can be rotatably coupled to the connecting assembly. The elongate insulator and the flexible tether can straighten along a longitudinal axis. The at least one of the first and second clamps can be orientatable in a position transverse to the longitudinal axis for being rotatable between the position transverse to the longitudinal axis and a position inline with the longitudinal axis, under opposed tension exerted on the jaws of the first and second clamps, for twisting at least one of the first and second cables for reducing galloping.

1. An antigalloping device comprising:
first and second securement fittings for securing to two spaced apart locations, the first securement fitting comprising a clamp having a jaw for clamping to a generally laterally extending electrical conductor; and a connecting assembly coupled between the first and second securement fittings, the connecting assembly comprising an elongate insulator attached to a flexible tether, the flexible tether capable of being bent and maneuvered during installation, the clamp being rotatably coupled to the connecting assembly, the elongate insulator and the flexible tether capable of straightening along a longitudinal axis, and the clamp being orientatable in a position transverse to the longitudinal axis for being rotatable between the position transverse to the longitudinal axis and a position inline with the longitudinal axis, under opposed tension exerted on the first and second securement fittings, for twisting the electrical conductor for reducing galloping.
