Period
This type made c. 2008, and used until 2010. This example appears new/unused.
Canada
The [lot] donation includes insulators, dampers, conductors, a preform rod, a sign, and personal gear from a Hydro One transmission station. It shows choices made by Hydro One, the typical equipment used at the beginning of the 21st c. on high voltage lines in Ontario. The artifacts also represent diversity and the longevity of manufacturers of electrical equipment and globalization of the markets. [Ref. 1]
Function
To hold the stabilizing wire, while work is done on transmission pylons.
Technical
Example of standard yet specialized equipment used to stabilize power lines and pylons. The guy grips are designed to be used with galvanized steel tension wire used to add stability to the transmission pylon. They hold the wire while work is done. Guy grips may be removed and reapplied a maximum of three times during the installation of new lines for the purpose of retensioning the guys. Guy grips are supplied individually colour coded and labelled for easy identification. Manufacturer of this rod has not been firmly established, but if in fact made by Electropar, the green colour on the wire would indicate: Catalogue no. EP-PG-1970; made of galvanized steel for guy wire diameter 9.7mm to 10.04 mm. [Ref. 1]
