3. The placement of damper

In the open area, the lower wind speed(Vm) causes vibration usually is 0.5m/s and the
upper wind speed(VM) causes vibration usually is 5~6m/s.
b=/2=2.5 x (D/VM x(T'/M) 1/2) here VM=6m/s , simplify the formula into the following formula
b=0.415xDx (T'/M) 1/2)
A. The 1st damper placement L1 calculated as below formula:
1/2
L1 =b= 0.415xDx (T /M) = 0.415x10.50x(0.2x60.0/384)1/2= 0.77m

:Min vibration wavelength

D: Cable diameter (mm)
T: Everyday Tension of conductor (KN)
M: Mass per unit length (kg/km)
Generally, According to our field experience, the 1stdamper should be located onto the
structural reinforced rods and about 50-80mm away from the end.

B. The other damper

The space between the 1st damper and the 2nd, 3rd dampers is that:
L2=L3= 0.58m;
Installing direction: In general, the installing direction of the damper will not influence damper
efficiency; ZTT Company advises that the large weight of the damper will be the same direction
toward the tower.
4. Numbers of Damper
The numbers of dampers per span is determined by terrain, climate, span length and
performance of the damper.
Please refer to the below table for best effecting of Stock-bridge damper:

5. Protection of clamping-point
ZTT recommend installing a special armor rod to protect the OPGW where the damper clamp is
fixed for reducing the stress of clamping-point and improving the anti- vibration ability.
