IPCs, PG Clamps & Clamps for Overhead Lines

For aluminium and copper conductors

  • Wide range of insulation-piercing and torque-setting clamps
  • For aluminium, copper and ACSR conductors
  • Conductor cross sections from 16-150 mm² (main) and 4-150 mm² (branch)

Hiko Power stocks a wide range of overhead line fittings including Insulation piercing connectors, Bimetallic parallel groove clamps (single and double bolts), Bimetallic cover tap-off clamp, Parallel groove clamps and Bimetallic bow clamps.

Hiko supplied PG clamps and bimetallic PG clamps are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant aluminium alloy (AlMgSi1/Al6082) and use hot-dip galvanised steel bolts and nuts and corrosion protected washers.

Other types of fittings are available on request.

IPCs are used to make tap off connections on low voltage insulated conductors. Hiko IPCs include shear bolts to ensure the correct tightening torque is applied during installation.

PG clamps are used to connect aluminium and ACSR conductors.

Bimetallic PG Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR main conductors with copper tap-off conductors.

Bimetallic Cover Tap-Off Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR main conductors with copper tap-off conductors.

Hiko supplied cover tap-off clamps are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant aluminium alloy, hot-forged metallic sheet and high strength copper alloy (CuNi2Si) and use hot- dip galvanised steel bolts and corrosion protected washers.

Bimetallic Bow Clamps connect aluminium or ACSR conductors with copper conductors. The body is made of high strength aluminium alloy with bimetallic sheet for copper tap-off; the U-bolt and nuts are hot-dip galvanised with corrosion protected washers.
