Abstract

An eddy current energy-dissipating spacer is mainly composed of a spacer frame, a conductor clamp and energy-dissipating elements. The eddy current energy-dissipating spacer not only provides the function of an ordinary spacer, but also reduces the vibration of the transmission lines; and at the same time, can effectively reduce the vibration of the transmission lines, especially the torsional vibration by adopting the eddy current and viscoelastic material for energy dissipation; improves the eddy current strength by adjusting the gear radius ratio, thus increasing the damping force; can adjust the damping parameters by adjusting the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet; can produce long-term stable vibration reduction effect by adopting the permanent magnet to provide continuous magnetic field without additional external energy input; can effectively avoid the magnetic flux leakage of magnetic circuits by adopting the magnetic material.
