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.
Materials include:
Aluminum alloy (arms & body)
Corrosion-resistant steel fasteners
Weather-resistant damping rubber
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.
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.
4. Do spacer dampers replace vibration dampers?
No. They complement vibration dampers. Both are normally used together.
5. Can Nooa Electric customize the arm length or damping element?
Yes. Nooa Electric offers customization based on bundle spacing, line voltage, and dynamic vibration studies.
