1. The selection does not match the conductor model:
Error manifestation: The corresponding preformed suspension clamp model is not selected according to the actual diameter and type of the conductor (such as ACSR, AAAC, OPGW).
Result: The clamp is not firm after installation, and the conductor is easy to slip or be damaged.
Suggestion: Provide the specific conductor model or diameter, tension level, and ask the supplier to make a matching selection or issue a selection recommendation.
2. Ignoring operating environment conditions:
Error: Not considering the particularity of the line environment, such as coastal, mountainous, cold or windy areas.
Result: The preformed suspension clamp has insufficient corrosion or vibration resistance, and its life is greatly shortened.
Suggestion: Clarify the use environment and ask the supplier to provide targeted solutions such as anti-corrosion coating, wind and vibration protection design, and anti-icing structure.
3. Focus only on price and ignore quality standards:
Mistake: Give priority to the lowest quote and ignore whether the preformed suspension clamp complies with ANSI, IEC, ASTM and other standards.
Result: You may purchase a preformed suspension clamp with non-compliant structure and shoddy materials, which may pose a safety hazard.
Suggestion: Request material description, process introduction, third-party test report or production qualification certification.
4. Ignoring the installation method and accessory compatibility:
Error manifestation: Not confirming whether the clamp can be installed without tools and whether it matches the supporting hardware (such as the suspension tower and insulator string).
Result: The preformed suspension clamp is difficult to install or cannot be constructed, causing project delays.
Suggestion: Ask the supplier to provide installation videos and instructions to confirm whether special tools are required and whether the hanging ring or wire contact structure can be customized.
5. Ignoring the supplier's technical support capabilities:
Mistake: Choose a supplier that cannot provide technical communication, preformed suspension clamp installation instructions or after-sales support.
Result: No one will handle the problem, affecting the project progress and subsequent maintenance.
Suggestion: Give priority to regular manufacturers who can provide drawings, preformed suspension clamp installation instructions, selection support, and warranty terms.
6. Ignoring packaging and logistics details:
Error: Failure to clearly define the packaging requirements and transportation conditions of the preformed suspension clamp product, resulting in damage during transportation or customs clearance obstacles.
Result: Cargo damage, delays, and additional costs.
Suggestion: Confirm the packaging method (wooden box, moisture-proof film, pallet), transportation method (sea/air), and complete documents (such as CO, invoice, packing list, etc.).
