Rigid Spacers
Since the 1960s, BURNDY has been providing
motion control products for transmission lines. This
rigid spacer line addresses the needs for many new
transmission lines being designed with twin bundle
conductor per phase. BURNDY rigid spacers are
engineered to perform to customer and industry
standards and carry with them the design, testing
and field installation experience to provide the right
solution for each transmission lines. Placement
recommendations are provided for optimum
performance on each project.
