Air (Aerodynamic) Spoilers Type SV

SV-type air spoilers are designed to protect wires and ground wires of overhead power lines (OHL) from galloping. Manufactured in compliance with TU 3449-009-52819896-2020.

Design and Features
The spoiler is a spiral with variable pitch and diameter, made of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) round rod with a diameter ranging from 10 to 25 mm and a length of 4 to 5.3 m.
It is intended for use on wires and ground wires with diameters from 6.5 to 45 mm on OHL with voltages ranging from 6 to 220 kV.

The spiral consists of two sections:

  • Installation Section: Secures the spoiler to the wire, ground wire, or cable.
  • Section with Increased Pitch: Ensures continuous alteration of aerodynamic characteristics along the span to prevent galloping.

The total length of spoilers installed in a span is 20–30% of the span’s length. The nomenclature, quantity, and installation scheme for the products on OHL are determined by specialists from LLC "FORENERGO-ENGINEERING" based on survey forms.
