Description / Abstract:
This guide defines testing procedures for the slip and pull-out
strength testing of bolted dead end strain clamps for use on
transmission and distribution lines. This guide covers initial
certification testing. For routine acceptance testing, refer to
IEEE Std C135.61TM.1
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide a repeatable and
standardized methodology for performing mechanical slip and
pull-out strength testing for a bolted dead end clamp and conductor
combination. A bolted dead end clamp and conductor combination
tested in accordance with this guide should give reasonable
assurance to the user that the clamp and conductor combination will
perform in a satisfactory manner, provided they have been installed
in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
