Line Clamps

Line Clamps are devices used to secure a cable to an overhead line.

Line Clamp designs can use different mechanisms for securing the cable to the line.

There are generally two types of securing systems:

Screw types:  Where the clamp is tightened by turning a screw or threaded spindle.  The end of the spindle can be tightened using different systems.

At Betacom Earthing, our spindles can be fitted with bayonet fittings, shotgun fittings, t-handles or screwdriver handles.  Screw type systems reliably secure the cable to the overhead line.

Snap-on types:  The jaws of the clamp are spring loaded and quickly activated by hooking the upper jaw over the overhead line.

When lives are on the line Betacom provides portable earthing devices and associated safety equipment.
