PLP's Spiral Vibration Damper reduces Aeolian Vibration (the high frequency, low amplitude vibration caused by horizontal wind passing across the line. It it designed to be used on OPGW and conductors with an outside diameter less than 0.75".

• Made of solid thermal plastic
• Non-corrosive
• Effective in a broad range of frequencies
• No concentrated mass or clamping pressure that could damage guy wires
• Provides impact-reactive damper pretection with helically-formed plastic rods
• Reduces vibration on smaller diameter cables
• Easy to install

Standard - For use on: Bare Conductors, Shield Wires and OPGW

Explanatory Notes: (1) Up to three SVD's can be subset together in one location where the cable diameter is 0.461" and below. (2) On cables with diameters above 0.461", only two SVD's should be subset for optimal damping performance.
