Farewell to Tradition: Preformed Armor Rods Become the Main Force of Power Lines

2025-04-05

In the operation and maintenance of power lines, if we continue to use traditional protection methods and refuse to use preformed armor rods, we will face multiple risks and challenges. Data shows that a provincial power grid insisted on using traditional protection methods, and spent 38 million yuan on maintenance costs due to wind vibration damage alone last year, while the regional failure rate of new technologies adopted during the same period dropped by 72%. Industry experts warn: "Refusing technology upgrades may seem to save initial investment, but in fact it will lead to higher cycle costs." With the improvement of grid reliability requirements, sticking to outdated technology will become increasingly difficult to meet the safety needs of modern power systems.

 

Preformed armor rods are becoming the main force to ensure the safe operation of power lines with their innovative design and excellent performance. The streamlined preformed armor rods can effectively reduce the impact of wind vibration on the line,greatly reduce the line swing and wear caused by wind, and significantly improve the stability of power transmission. Compared with traditional protection devices,preformed armor rods provide equal or even better protection performance, while optimizing structural design and material application, successfully reducing material costs and installation costs, bringing economic benefits to power companies.

The appearance and design concept of the preformed armor rods make on-site installation more convenient. When replacement or maintenance is required, technicians can complete it quickly, shortening the line maintenance time and reducing the company's later costs. The surface of preformed armor rods is treated with a special anti-corrosion coating, which can resist the erosion of environments such as moisture, acid rain, and salt spray for a long time. The measured data in coastal areas and industrial pollution areas show that the service life is 3-5 years longer than that of ordinary protection devices, providing more reliable protection for power lines.

 

At present, the preformed armor rods produced by our company have been successfully applied in many key power transmission projects in China. Users have reported that the comprehensive performance far exceeds expectations, which not only effectively reduces line failures, but also reduces maintenance frequency and costs. With the continuous improvement of the power industry's requirements for line safety, pre-twisted armored rods have become the preferred solution for more and more power companies with their reliable protection performance, providing new technical support for building a safer and more economical power transmission network.
