General
String hardware offered in this part of the catalogue are made up of
fittings connecting insulators with the towers and conductors
under mechanical load.
Clevis-eye connections and ball and socket connections are

standardized internationally according to the following Standards:
IEC 60120 , Dimensions of ball and socket couplings of string
insulator units
ÖNORM E 4104 , Electrical overhead lines; ball and socket; coupling
dimensions (for Ball 16 and 20)
ANSI C 29.2 / 52-3 for Ball 16

greater than 1 kV - or specific requirements
DIN 48068 , Protective fitting attachment; for overhead lines,
connection dimensions
For ball 24, the arcing devices will be fixed with 2 screws M14 at a
distance of 32 mm because of the short circuit currents that may
occur. Fastening using two screws is also possible according to Swiss
and Italian Standards.
Material
In order to withstand the static as well as dynamic loads acc. to
EN 50341 , heat treated steels will be used for the string hardware
as follows:
- steels for quenching and tempering acc. to DIN EN 10083 ;
- structural steels (nitriding steels) for hinges, links and yokes acc.
to DIN EN 10025 ;
- malleable cast acc. to DIN EN 1562 and spheroidal graphite cast
(ductile iron) acc. to DIN EN 1563 for some socket fittings;
- For special cases where high dynamic loads may occur at low Security split pin

temperatures, fittings made of low-temperature (cryogenic)

- Stainless steels are occasionally used in regions with a corrosive
atmosphere, e.g. near the sea.
- Screw bolts according to DIN 48073
- Split pins for screw bolts are made of stainless steel.

All fitting assemblies supplied have identification marking acc.

to IEC 61284; this includes manufacturers mark and date code, spe-
cified minimum failure load, and one second short circuit current
withstand rating.
Short circuit protection of the string hardware does not only de-
pend on the corresponding cross sections but also on the surface
quality of the connections, including mechanically loaded bolts. In
general, a current density of 70 A/mm2 can be expected. In this re-
spect, heating will remain below 400°C at an ambient temperature of
35°C, which is why there will not be any inadmissible loss of cohesion
of the string hardware.
As for ball eyes where arcing devices can be fixed, the stated value will
only be applicable if arcing devices are actually
used. If the short circuit currents are very high, it
will be possible to provide for by-passing using a
shunt. For this purpose, the fittings concerned will
have connecting eyes with suitable holes.
As for hinged connections established by using
screw bolts, the short circuit value will not only

to be guaranteed after the power arcs. The values stated in the tables
refer to this standard also.
If stainless steels are used, a reduced short circuit resistance needs
to be expected.
Anti rotation protection

Rigid V strings with a small angular position, which can also be used
for lightweight angular towers, need anti rotation protection. For this
purpose, there are double eyes with a straight end for porcelain
long rod insulators.

Yokes
The yokes, which serve for spacing multiple strings, will be given
their shape depending on the conductor configuration used. This
configuration can consist of a single conductor, twin bundle, triple

ductor routing, accompanies wind load, the
displacements can reach 60° and more. In
this respect, the fact that the strings will be
displaced less is the result of the calculation of

Conductor displacement can be slightly re-
stricted by placing counterweights. However, the arcing devices
and yokes will impede each other. Therefore, it will be necessary to
provide the yoke with a recess or to design the arcing device as to
make sure that it will pass the yoke in the displaced state.

is also required to consider a dynamic load as it will, e.g., occur on
multiple strings if one insulator string breaks.
The remaining strings must be capable of controlling the high dyna-
mic longitudinal and transverse forces.
This load transposition occurs as a pulse-like shock process that

implies violent oscillating movements and is, as a rule, excluded after
about 200 ms. As a result of this load transposition, the bending and Arcing device

This can lead to the failure of the whole insulator string. displacement
This mainly occurs on multiple strings with porcelain long rod

insulators, which are very sensitive to bending loads. The fact that
the broken string knocks into the intact one can cause this string to
be damaged or to break.

As for composite insulators, higher longitudinal tensile forces will

be caused by the flexibility of the glass fibre rods. However, the ben-
ding stress can be neglected.
Cap and pin type insulators are less critical. As they are short and
their connections are so flexible, the bending stresses can remain
small. Uncontrolled impact by the broken string can lead to damage
of the insulator sheds. In general, however, this will not cause the
whole string to break.
Design criteria for insulator strings

Calculations and tests have helped to obtain some important rules
for designing multiple insulator strings especially for porcelain long
rod insulators:
- All the partial strings are to be fixed separately.
- The distance of the insulator strings on their live ends is to be
as small as possible. A slight inclination will help to prevent the
insulator strings from knocking one into the other.
- The yokes should be as high as possible. This is no problem
for tension strings. As for suspension strings, the electrical re-
quirements relating to the minimum distance will have to be
considered.
Triangular - If there are several shorter insulators, their bending moments will
frame yoke be smaller. This will have positive effects. For the reasons above,
this measure can be implemented on tension strings more easily.
There are cases where these measures won’t be sufficient so that

additional precautions will have to be taken:
- Additional masses mounted on the insulator string can be used to
decelerate the load transposition process and thus reduce strains
and stresses acting on the insulator. In most cases, these masses
will be mounted on the yoke. In any case, the effect of these addi-
Yoke with displace- tional masses should be verified.
ment elements
- Damping elements
These elements are based on the fact that special displacement
elements, which are displaced plastically at load transposition,
will lead to power dissipation. These elements will be mounted on
the hinged connections of the string, primarily in the yoke hinges.
The patented Mosdorfer Damping Systems (patent Müller) are

Displacement yoke a special group enabling highly effective reduction of stresses and
for suspension strains that are inadmissibly high, the yoke as a whole being the
strings displacement element.
- This combination of yokes is stiff enough to act as a stable yoke at
normal operation.
- After one string has broken, the yoke as a whole will be displaced.
- Energy consumption is much higher than that of single displace-
ment elements.
- These systems can be used for all possible string configurations
and conductor combinations.
- The yokes being displaced at a rupture are stable enough to with-

At normal operation, the generation of yokes described here will

establish a stable connection between the insulators. A short time
after the rupture, the rigid-body connection will have disintegrated.
Now the conductors are only connected via the yoke by a compo-
nent that is pliable and strongly expandable and absorbs the shock
in a gentle and resilient manner.
Yoke for suspension
strings with an un-
hingeable yoke on
If one string breaks, the yoke will, in the case of suspension the side
strings, be released from a certain rotation thanks to the technology
of unhinging via side slots. Thus the conductors will only be con-
nected to the intact string by a pliable displacement element.
As for the tension strings, a bolt will move along a slot, one
displacement element being expanded and the other one being
compressed. Yoke for tension

Computational simulation of load transposition

For a long time, Mosdorfer has used a computational programme
suitable for double tension and suspension strings, including
V-strings, Y-strings and inverse V-strings for all conductor configu-
rations.
It is also possible to quantitatively analyse the

hinged connections in a string (ball and socket
connections or eye-clevis connections).
Furthermore, so-called trapezoidal double

yokes can be integrated in the computational
programme.

Simulation for double strings with displacement elements

Provided that the displacement elements are connected in a hinged
manner and are exclusively subjected to tension or pressure, the
characteristic operating curves of the programme can then be the
basis of the analysis.
The ratio between prolongation of elements and displacement force

has a characteristic shape so that it is accessible to mathematical
modelling.
These values will be obtained from static and

dynamic tests. Tests have also been made at
low temperatures.

Yoke plate with damping straps

for rigid V-strings
Rigid V-strings will be used for suspension towers and angle towers with angles
of up to 10°. Thanks to the damping system based on the yoke plate and the
suspension hinges, loads with a high horizontal predominance can also be
controlled.
Yoke plates
for V-strings, inverse V-strings and Y-strings
V-strings with small angles will, as a rule, be equipped with long rod insulators
and are rigid. Depending on the application, there are many models.
Here are two examples:
3 STRING HARDWARE
53
Triangular yoke with a damping tongue

for suspension strings
If one string breaks, the yoke will be swivelled to its final

position, the damping tongue being bent over the two bolts.
The damping tongue has been dimensioned so as to make sure
that it will remain in the elastic area at the maximum displace-
ment angle due to wind loads.
Frame yoke with a damping tongue

for tension strings
The effect of the long frame, which is due to the lower change in length at the
swivelling-in movement, is reinforced by bending the damping tongue. In this
case, no impact of wind displacement is opposed to optimal design.

54
Shifting yoke in trapezoidal and triangular form

for tension strings
Here force is introduced in a balanced manner.

As for the trapezoidal yoke, the mobility of the system will also
help to reduce loads in case of rupture of a string.
This arrangement is also suitable for calculation.
Displacement yoke with damping elements

for tension strings for all conductor configurations
The concept of separate conductor suspension, which had

been developed for suspension strings, was implemented in
that the yoke, which only consists of displacement elements,
will be very flexible in case of transposition. Nevertheless,
a safe live connection of the two insulator strings is guaranteed
at normal operation.
Yoke with hinge for tension strings

for connecting a triple bundle with a double string
At normal operation, the yoke will act as one single rigid yoke that distributes load.
If a string breaks, this yoke will fold open and thus enable thrust displacement of
a displacement yoke with damping elements.
3 STRING HARDWARE
55
Rotary spacer with damping links

for suspension strings with horizontal twin bundle conductors and for four bundle conductors
The idea behind this is that each of the conductors arranged ho-
rizontally is separately fixed to an insulator. The live connection
of the insulator is provided by the rotary spacers arranged at a
distance of approx. 1m. If one string breaks, the loads will be
transmitted from the intact string extremely gently.
Flapping yoke for suspension strings

for connecting a triple bundle to a double string
For triple bundles, single fastening of the conductors to 2 insulators is not possible.
The yoke that will fold open in case of load transposition and can also be equipped
with damping elements will enable gentle transmission of the loads.
Unhingeable yoke with slots on the side

for suspension strings
for all conductor configurations
In case of transposition, the whole yoke will be drawn out of the connection,
the conductors remaining connected to the remaining insulator string over the
displacement elements. The slots on the side have been conceived as to make sure
that there cannot be any uncoupling at maximum wind displacement.

Yoke with shifting slots

with displacement elements for tension strings
for all conductor configurations
This type of yoke enables large-area displacement of the damping

elements, which is provided by the sliding slot.
The displacement elements can be wave shaped or meandering.
