Classification of Armour Rods

Armoured rods, also known as armoured rods or rod armour, are a type of rod and cable hardware. Designed to protect cables from damage caused by shaking, abrasion, bending and flashover, prefabricated armoured rods are used primarily in electrical, telecommunications and construction work.

Research is essential before you decide to purchase this accessory. You need to buy quality hardware fittings that are easy to use.

Classification of armour rods

There are three types of armour rods, depending on their function, which are

Performed armour rods

Repair armour rods

Attached repair rods

Each of these three types has a unique function.

Now, what makes these armour rods unique as rod line hardware.

 Preformed Armour Rods

a) Preformed Armor Rods

Preformed armor rods are designed to protect the cable. They protect the cable from damage caused by bending, shaking, flashing or abrasion. Basically, they have a certain level of strength. They have a strength level of no less than 95% of the conductor.

These performed armour rods always have the following characteristics.

1. Reduced wear and tear; the prefabricated armour bars double tightly wrap around the overhead line conductors, protecting them from wear and tear.

2. Corrosion resistance; they are also treated against corrosion. As a result, they can serve you for a long time. Basically, this protects the conductors from corrosion.

3. Easy to install; with prefabricated armour rods, the installation process is simple and easy. You don't have to hire a lot of labour to carry out the installation process.

The best part is that you don't need years of experience to install armour poles. In addition, you do not need extraordinary skills and tools. In addition, the executed armour poles are easy to fit with most pole and wire hardware. They are widely used in ADSS, ACSR, OPGW, AAAC, etc.

b) Repair armour rods

Repair armour rods are used to repair damaged aluminium based conductors. They work by restoring the mechanical strength of the conductor and its electrical conductivity. When conductors or grounds are damaged (e.g. less than 7% of the square space), these rods can be used to ensure that they are restored to 100% strength and conductivity.

Preformed Armour Rods

Both the repair armour rods and the connecting armour rods have the same function. They also protect the transmission line from vibration. Often, when you install an armoured rod, it helps to increase the conductor's ability to withstand depletion forces. This means that your transmission and distribution lines will serve you for many years to come.

As a rule of thumb, repairing armoured rods can be very useful in ultra-high voltage applications. Depending on the project at hand, you can purchase a product that meets the requirements of your unique application.

c) Connecting repair rods

Connected repair rods have the same functions as repair rods.

Some of these features include.

High electrical conductivity; the sand inside the armoured rod is highly conductive. This means that connecting the armoured rod to the earth ensures fast and efficient power transmission.

The installation process is simple and easy. The conductive power supply never interferes with the installation process - in fact, you do not have to switch off the power during installation. As a rule, armoured rods are flexible and lightweight, making them easy to install. Now, depending on the application at hand, you can go on to choose the right armour rod.
