Electricity is a wonderful force that lights our cities, schools and the silly gadgets that we love to use. But did you know that before electricity can get to our houses, it goes on quite an adventure through power lines? These are power lines the way highways are how electricity gets to us. Of these power lines the OPGW earth wire is a critical component.
This HONGZHI OPGW earth wire is similar to a shield that serves to protect the power lines from a certain destructive phenomenon called lightning! Lightning is a strong spark that comes from the sky when clouds are angry and start to grumble. When lightning hits a power line, it can do a great deal of damage and even knock out the lights we use in our homes. But the OPGW Optical Cable makes sure the lightning is safely diverted from the power lines, and we remain safe.
The OPGW earth wire has special material that conduct electricity very good. Namely, when the lightning strikes, the OPGW Hardware Fittings dissipates the energy of the lightning to the value where it will not cause any damage to the power lines, instead divert the energy to the ground. It’s as though a superhero were swooping in to save the day!
So, how does this HONGZHI OPGW earth wire do this magic? The OPGW earth wire is filled with very small metal strands, which are twisted together. These metal threads provide a path for the lightning to follow, drawing it harmlessly down away from the power lines. The OPGW earth wire also helps to maintain the power lines strong and straight so they do not sway in the wind and when it rains.
To ensure the OPGW earth wire still provides the protection to those power lines, we have to install it well and take good care of it. Professionals such as the team at HONGZHI are trained to properly install and maintain the OPGW earth wire – ensuring it’s in the best possible condition to do its job. Thanks to the Tension clamp for OPGW, we can now have a steady supply of electricity daily.
