(Covered Stay Wires)
Covered Stay Wire is a type of stay wire that is covered with a protective layer. Covered stay wires have more durability and stability in humid areas against environmental factors such as humid, acidic environments or exposure to sunlight.
In the following, we will review the manufacturing of covered stay wire, the types of polymers used for the coating, the applications of covered stay wire, and its advantages.
The manufacturing of covered stay wire is usually made from weaving multiple strands of galvanized steel wires wrapped around a core. This multi-strand weave has high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion due to galvanization. A polymer coating layer is applied on this multi-strand weave, which has various protective properties
Main components of covered stay wire
Stay Wire: Usually made of high-carbon steel, which provides better tensile strength and greater resistance to mechanical stresses.
Made of steel with galvanized coating, which gives it corrosion resistance.
Protective Coating: It can be made of various materials such as heat-resistant polymers or UV-resistant materials such as PVC and XLPE.
Types of coatings used:
This type of coating is used to protect the wire from weather conditions. It has good flexibility, makes installing covered stay wire on poles easier, and also has good durability in humid environments and against corrosive environmental factors.
It shows higher resistance to heat compared to PVC, resistance to chemicals, oils, and acids, and has greater mechanical resistance so that it protects the wire from mechanical damages
Polyethylene: It has greater resistance to UV rays and environmental chemicals.
Features of Covered Stay Wire
Among the features of using covered stay wire, the following can be mentioned:
Protection against corrosion: The insulating coating of the wire protects against weather conditions, chemicals, and environmental moisture.
Electrical Insulation: In power lines, the insulating coating prevents current transfer to structures and potential hazards.
Increased Lifespan: The coating reduces wear and increases the lifespan of the wire.
Aesthetic Appearance: Using covered cable creates a neat and beautiful appearance.
Reduced Electrical Losses: In some applications, the coating reduces electrical losses and energy losses.
Covered Stay Wire is used for power lines and to control stray currents in power lines.
Covered Stay Wire is used to protect against weather conditions, moisture, chemicals, and UV rays.
Decorative Covered Stay Wire: Used for architectural projects and urban beautification
Applications of RTD Covered Stay Wire can be mentioned as follows:
Covered Stay Wire for power transmission and telecommunication towers
Used in power lines and overhead distribution poles
Metal structures such as lighting towers
Installation in harsh environments such as humid or industrial areas
