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...
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
