MDS MDSG Type Tubular Busbar Expansion Clamp Type A
Product Overview
The MDS MDSG Type Tubular Busbar Expansion Clamp Type A is a specialized power line hardware designed for critical hardware component for overhead power line construction, ensuring reliable mechanical and electrical performance. Widely recognized in the industry under alternative names including line fitting, overhead hardware, power fitting, line hardware, this product serves as a critical component in overhead power transmission and distribution systems systems. 1. MDS type is aluminum clamp; MDSG type is copper-aluminum transition clamp, designated as MDSG-XXA, with identical dimensions to MDS type. 2. If dimensions H and a require modification, please specify Hxa when ordering. Example: MDS-120A(Hxa).
