General Key Data
For high voltage transmission lines, conductor bundles PFISTERER has been developing Spacer Dampers since
are used for each phase to fulfil electrical requirements. 1980 to provide the correct damping of wind-induced
vibrations for bundled conductor lines. Modern Spacer
Spacing devices are installed on the bundles to maintain Dampers are characterized by an accurate coordination
subconductor separation. Elastic and damping elements between the inertial and elastic damping properties.
are introduced into the spacing devices for distributing This provides maximum effectiveness in controlling the
the damping effect along the spans which prevents levels of subconductor motions.

Test Facilities
PFISTERER runs its own laboratory for vibration damper
and conductor self-damping testing since 1979. In this
laboratory, design, type and sample testing is carried
out in accordance with the appropriate standards and in
the presence of inspectors if required.

The laboratory personnel are in charge of research and

development as well as routine quality testing. This
ensures that the products are in a worldwide leading

Field Vibration Measurements

PFISTERER has developed an unique, wireless,
conductor vibration recorder, the VIBREC500, for aeolian
and subspan oscillation field measurements. These
recorders are used to verify the conductor vibration
severity and to confirm that the damping system
installed on the transmission line is correct.

Reliable Clamp Designs
General
The PFISTERER Spacer Dampers are available with two different clamp designs. Both, the nut cracker and the cantilever
clamp type designs provide a firm but gentle and permanent grip while protecting the conductor against the local
static and dynamic stresses occurring during normal operation conditions. The weight of the clamps are as light as
possible in order to maintain their mobility at the highest frequencies of aeolian vibrations and to avoid nodal points on
the conductors that would impair the damping unit performance and increase bending strain at the clamp attachment.
They provide sufficient clamp grip to restrain the subconductor from slipping and rotating inside the clamp during the
normal service conditions. The fastening systems consider an appropriate anti-unscrewing to prevent any loosening
of the clamp due to conductor vibrations and oscillations. Moreover, great care has been taken in selecting the clamp
materials to avoid any corrosion.

Nut Cracker Clamp Type

The nut cracker clamp type is rubber lined and boltless.
For the correct installation, an additional assembling
tool is required to finally lock the clamp system with a
quarter turn locking latch. Locking latch
