Conductor galloping control device and method of installation

摘要

A galloping control rod for suppressing the vertical, torsional and horizontal movement associated with the galloping affect on aerial cables due to freezing rain, wet snow or frost deposits. The anti-galloping rod includes a non-conductive rod having a preformed helical midsection and a first and second end, the first end including a helical gripping section. The second end includes a one-half helical turn with a differing pitch length than the preformed helical midsection such that the conductor galloping control device can be installed on an aerial cable without having to slide the device along the cable or without the installer having to move his lifting device, such as a bucket lift, along the cable line.
