Remark
Mosdorfer offers a full range of Spacers and Spacer Dampers for
bundled lines, including products from vibration control specialist’s
DAMP s.r.l. (www.damp.it) a wholly owned Mosdorfer GmbH com-
pany (www.mosdorfer.com) and fully integrated into the Knill En-
ergy group based in Austria (www.knillgruppe.com). By combining
years of expertise, long term service and relaibility, we offer a full
range of spacers and spacer dampers for all types of bundle configu-
ration and conductor applications. DAMP s.r.l. damping products are
globally recognised and leaders in Overhead Line Vibration control.
Our full range of spacers and spacer dampers, including rigid and
semi flexible types complete our catalogue range.
General
Overhead line spacers add reliability and protection to the conduc-
tor bundle, by separating conductors preventing clashing under
operating conditions.

Computational programs
MOSDORFER and DAMP have developed com-
putational programs for all bundle configu-
rations for high-frequency aeolian vibrations
(Karman vibrations) including subconductor
vibrations.

Material
Spacers are made of very different materials, high-grade cast alumi-
nium are preferred for frames and clamps.
Some spacer bodies are also partly forged. For clamps, high-strength
screws with or without shear head huts are mostly be used.
Spacers
Rigid spacers for jumpers for vertical and horizontal twin bundles
This type is also available for triple and quadruple bundles shown in
the Tables. Other designs are also available. Rigid spacers for
jumpers with
Rigid spacers for jumper loops are often equipped with counter- counterweights
weights to create tower clearance.

Neoprene washers fixed between the body and clamps have some
damping effect preventing noise.
The types with forged aluminium bodies are available for twin, triple
and quadruple bundles.
Tensioning bolts fixed by means of a special tool assist with easy and
quick assembly.

Spacer dampers
The spacer dampers described in the tables
are a selection of types most commonly used,
where the system of fastening to the conduc-
tor can be varied e.g. clamps fixed by using
heliformed rods with neoprene clamp liners
to offer added conductor protection. Spacer damper,
fixing with
As previously described, non-damping heliformed rods
spacers, and spacer dampers include models
with hinge type clamps and tensioning bolts.
Both types have excellent corona behaviour.

All parts are captive. The small connecting loop of the neoprene parts tightly mounted in the
clamp body ensures ease of assembly without the field spacer having to be dismounted. Sufficient
movement within the conductor is guaranteed by elastic neoprene. These field spacers with a
semi-conducting neoprene insert can also be delivered with a contact spring to enable potential
equalisation.

The screw configuration will, in combination with the defined supporting points, result in a
