Clustered Overhead Line

Clustered overhead line typically refers to an overhead line structure in power systems where each phase conductor is split into multiple parallel conductors to improve transmission capacity, reduce corona loss, and minimize electromagnetic interference.

Description

Product Description 

 

Our factory's clustered overhead line uses 2, 4, or even 6 sub-conductors per phase, arranged symmetrically to form the basic structure. Furthermore, spacers are used to maintain spacing between the overhead lines to effectively prevent whiplash and galloping. Through this scientific structural design, clustered overhead line can significantly reduce corona discharge and radio interference. Additionally, the line can increase transmission capacity and reduce line losses.

220kV

Two splits

LGJ-400/35

Standard steel-cored aluminum stranded wire, horizontally arranged, suitable for plains and medium-span lines.

330kV

Four splits

LGJ-500/45

Increased transmission capacity and reduced reactance; widely used in the main trunk lines of the Northwest Power Grid.

500kV

Four splits

LGJ-630/45

The mainstream configuration uses a square or rhomboid arrangement, combined with spacers to suppress vibration.

Hexa-splitting

JL/G2A-1520/125

Large-section conductors are used in heavy-load transmission channels to increase current carrying capacity.

750kV

Hexa-splitting

LGJ-720/50

Commonly used in early-stage ultra-high voltage (UHV) projects to enhance electric field uniformity and reduce corona loss.

1000kV

Eight-part split

8×LGJ-630/45

Ultra-high voltage AC transmission standard configuration significantly increases the equivalent diameter and reduces losses.

10–35kV

Single wire or no split

JKLGYJ-10kV 240/30

Insulated steel-cored aluminum stranded wire, used in urban power distribution networks, balances mechanical strength and insulation performance.

 

Product Feature And Application

 

Our clustered overhead line boasts exceptional environmental adaptability. We can adapt to different environments by making appropriate adjustments based on their specific characteristics.

 

  • For high-wind areas: We enhance the strength of the spacers to better prevent conductor galloping;
  • For heavy icing areas: We select large-section, high-strength conductors to prevent breakage due to icing;
  • For high-altitude areas: Because the thin air easily triggers corona discharge, we increase the number of splits or the diameter of the sub-conductors to eliminate potential hazards.

 

FAQ

 

The selection of a suitable clustered overhead line model should be based on the voltage level, combined with the splitting configuration, conductor material, and engineering environment for system matching. In 220kV and above systems, four- or six-split LGJ series steel-cored aluminum stranded wire is preferred. This combination balances electrical performance and mechanical strength. For capacity increases, long spans, or heavy icing scenarios, carbon fiber composite conductors can be upgraded to improve current carrying capacity and tensile strength.
