Spacer Damper for ACSR 490/65 - 30.6mm Conductor

Spacer Damper for ACSR 490/65 - 30.6mm Conductor

spacer damper for ACSR 490/65 (30.6 mm diameter conductor) is a key vibration-control device used in multi-bundle transmission lines. It maintains the spacing between sub-conductors while simultaneously damping wind-induced vibrations such as aeolian vibration and galloping. Maintains consistent spacing between conductors, which reduces corona loss and improves line efficiency. Nooa Electric supplies spacer dampers configured according to line design, span length, bundle spacing, and vibration severity.

  • Product FAQ
Spacer damper maintains conductor spacing and suppresses vibration in bundled conductor systems, ensuring stable and long-term performance. For ACSR 490/65 conductors with a 30.6 mm diameter, spacer dampers are essential to prevent sub-conductor collision, wear, fatigue damage, and vibration-induced failures. They are commonly installed at regular intervals in double-bundle or four-bundle high-voltage transmission lines. Nooa Electric designs spacer dampers using high-strength aluminum alloy arms, galvanized steel hardware, and elastomer damping elements optimized for the vibration characteristics of ACSR 490/65.

Structure & Components of a Spacer Damper

A spacer damper consists of arms, damping elements, clamps, and couplings that work together to control movement and absorb vibration energy.


A standard spacer damper includes:

•  Aluminum alloy arms: lightweight and corrosion-resistant

•  Damping elements (elastomer/thermoplastic): absorb energy from vibration

•  Clamp bodies: designed specifically for 30.6 mm conductor diameter

•  Bolts, nuts, and fasteners: hot-dip galvanized steel

•  Hinges/joints: allow controlled relative movement

•  Anti-slip liners: ensure proper grip on ACSR 490/65 conductors


Every component is engineered to provide balance between stiffness, damping, and flexibility.

Performance Features of Spacer Damper for ACSR 490/65

High damping efficiency, corrosion resistance, conductor protection, and long-term reliability.

1. Vibration & Galloping Control
Spacer dampers:
Minimize aeolian vibration
Reduce sub-conductor clashing
Prevent fatigue failure at suspension points

2. Reduced Wear & Extended Conductor Life
The anti-slip rubber inserts protect the conductor against mechanical damage.

3. Optimized for 30.6 mm ACSR 490/65
The clamp profile ensures a secure fit and uniform pressure around the conductor.

4. High Strength & Corrosion Resistance

Materials include:
Aluminum alloy (arms & body)
Corrosion-resistant steel fasteners
Weather-resistant damping rubber


5. Stable Electrical Performance
Maintains consistent spacing between conductors, which reduces corona loss and improves line efficiency.
Nooa Electric uses advanced dynamic testing to ensure long-term stability under real vibration conditions.

Applications of Spacer Dampers

Ideal for high-voltage bundle lines, windy regions, long spans, and areas with conductor vibration risks.

Common scenarios include:

•  110kV, 132kV, 220kV, 330kV, and 500kV bundled lines

•  Double or four-bundle conductors using ACSR 490/65

•  Mountain areas with strong wind

•  Long-span river crossings

•  Regions prone to galloping or aeolian vibration

Nooa Electric supplies spacer dampers configured according to line design, span length, bundle spacing, and vibration severity.

FAQ: Spacer Damper for ACSR 490/65 – 30.6 mm Conductor

1. What type of conductor uses this spacer damper?
ACSR 490/65 with a diameter of 30.6 mm.


2. Is it suitable for double-bundle or four-bundle lines?
Yes. Spacer dampers are widely used for 2-bundle and 4-bundle high-voltage transmission lines.


3. How often should spacer dampers be installed?
Typically every 60–90 meters, depending on span length and design standards.
