APG PG Clamp Aluminum Parallel Groove Clamp

Adaptable to use as an oblique tap or parallel connector, the parallel groove clamp (PG Clamp) is designed to connect two conductors in parallel and especially used to hold transmission conductors in parallel in transmission lines. Made up of high-strength aluminium alloy bolts, the parallel groove clamps are designed to maintain high contact pressure during cooling and heating cycles.

Product Description

Product Introduction:

The parallel groove clamp is used for the connection of small and medium section aluminum strand or steel core aluminum strand and the steel strand of overhead lightning rod in the position that does not bear tension, and is also used for the jumper connection of non-linear tower. Electric power engineering materials (hardware) connecting wires are mainly used for interconnection of power line engineering

  • 1. What is a parallel groove clamp(PG Clamp)?

    For closing a loop of one conductor to fit on an insulator, the parallel groove clamp is designed to connect parallel conductors, while these connectors are composed of two parts known as upper and lower parts.

  • 2. What is the function of the parallel groove clamp?

    The clamp base section forms a weather shield in parallel groove clamp for the grooves which helps the compound to stay in place to help the connection last longer.

  • 3. How do you install a parallel groove clamp?

    1. Do not cut the strands from the conductor or double over strands of the conductor to make it fit until you get the correct size of the clamp.
    1. Make the PG clamp and conductor ready by brushing the contact surfaces to remove the oxide.
    2. Lavishly apply grease over the brushed area of the conductor only to ensure that the entire area is being covered properly.
