AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying components in switchyards, with users seeking names for specific equipment shown in attached pictures. It is noted that these components are generally referred to as clamps, with strain clamps used for angle connections that experience mechanical forces. Users are encouraged to explore various catalogs and resources for detailed information and manufacturer contacts. Links to specific product catalogs are shared to assist in the search for component names. The conversation highlights the importance of terminology in the electrical utility field for linemen.

Dear friends

I need the names of these components show in attached pictures of Switchyards. So that I will get information form google and there manufacturer.

I think the usual term is "substation". Check out http://new.abb.com/substations.
 
From a more engineering point of view: in general those pieces of equipment are called clamps. That would be the case of pictures #1 and #3, where the bus is connected to a dropper (downward cable). When there is an angle connection where there may be electrodinamic or mechanical forces , as in #2, they are called strain clamps.

thanks buddy your the life saver to me...
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
