China Preformed Guard Wires (SHL) Manufacturer, Exporters

Purpose and Structure

Preformed guard wires (SHL) are used to protect conductors from vibration, clamp pressure, abrasion, arcing, and other external damages.

When conductor abrasion is mild, preformed guard wires can shield damaged conductor sections from arcing, abrasion, or further harm.

They also act as repair strips to mend damaged conductors, restoring their original mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.

Additionally, they protect branch clamps, preventing damage at conductor branch points caused by bending and abrasion.

The structure of preformed guard wires (and preformed short guard wires) is simple: A set of preformed wires forms a hollow tube, which generates a gripping force when wrapped around the conductor—thus providing protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the primary function of Preformed Armor Rods?
Preformed armor rods are designed to protect conductors against vibration, bending stress, and abrasion at the support point. They also provide electrical reinforcement to damaged conductors.
How do I select the correct armor rod for my wire?
Selection is based on the conductor type (e.g., ACSR, Aluminum Stranded) and the outer diameter of the wire. Please refer to the minimum and maximum diameter ranges provided in our selection tables.
What does the color code on the armor rods indicate?
The color code is a visual identifier used to ensure that the correct size of armor rods is being installed on the corresponding conductor diameter, helping to prevent installation errors.
Are there special armor rods for high-voltage lines?
Yes, for lines above 345 kV, we recommend using Anti-Corona Preformed Armor Rods (SFHL series) which are specifically designed to minimize corona discharge.
Can armor rods be reused after removal?
Generally, it is not recommended to reuse preformed armor rods if they have been deformed during the initial installation or have been in service for a long period, as their gripping strength may be compromised.
What materials are available for different conductor types?
We offer armor rods in various materials including high-strength aluminum alloy, aluminum-clad steel, and copper-clad steel to ensure compatibility and prevent galvanic corrosion with the primary conductor.
