ADVANTAGES OF ARMOR RODS

Armor rods are preformed rods used for wrapping around the outer layer of wires and mounting on the boat shaped wire clamp, in order to improve the conductor rigidity, decrease conductor vibration and protect damaged conductors by preventing the damaged area from expanding. Also, the protective rods can be wrapped in aluminum conductor and installed on the post insulator to increase the conductor rigidity and play a role in reducing vibration.

The raw materials of the armor rod are aluminum wire, galvanized steel wire, and aluminum clad steel wire. The customer chooses the armor rod material according to the conductor's raw material.

The armour rod material should be similar to conductor surface material, avoiding corrosion between different elements. All types of armor rods come with a color code which helps identify the conductor size easily. The color code is also regarded as a mark during installation, Boersen Photoelectric Equipment also does the customized armor rod.
