A cross arm electric pole is an angle iron fixed horizontally at the top of a utility pole, fitted with porcelain insulators, used to support overhead power lines. It is a crucial component of elevated power lines, its function being to install and fix insulators and other electrical fittings on the tower, supporting conductors and lightning protection wires, and maintaining a safe distance from the line as required.

Product Specifications
|
40mm×40mm×5mm |
Suitable for single-phase overhead lines. |
|
50mm×50mm×6mm |
Suitable for three-phase four-wire overhead lines with a conductor cross-sectional area of 50mm² or less. |
|
56mm×56mm×5mm 63mm×63mm×6mm |
These are the two most commonly used specifications for 10kV overhead lines. |
|
65mm×65mm×8mm |
Suitable for three-phase four-wire overhead lines with a conductor cross-sectional area of 50mm² or more. |
|
75mm×75mm×8mm |
This larger specification of angle steel is used to provide stronger load-bearing capacity when erecting long-span lines, double-circuit lines, or installing heavier switchgear. |
Product Feature
Load Bearing and Support
Insulated at the top of the pole, it supports the overhead conductors via insulators, bearing the weight of the wires and external loads (such as wind loads and icing loads), ensuring stable conductor installation.
Maintaining the distance between conductors ensures safe spacing of the line, preventing short circuits or interference.
Stability and Protection
Reducing conductor vibration amplitude prevents breakage due to long-term fatigue, extending the service life of the wires.
Some types (such as porcelain crossarms and composite material crossarms) also have insulation functions, improving the line's resistance to lightning strikes and flashover protection.
Production Details
Length Adaptability
The design should be based on the number of overhead lines, span, and pole type to ensure that the conductor spacing meets safety standards.
Matching Fittings
Crossarms must be fixed to the pole/tower using crossarm clamps (U-shaped structure, made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, or composite materials). These clamps should be corrosion-resistant, slip-resistant, and compatible with poles from 80-300mm in diameter, capable of withstanding a 500kg static load and winds up to force 8.
Standardization and Cost
Composite material crossarms have a comparable overall cost to traditional angle iron crossarms, but lower maintenance costs over their 30-year lifespan, offering superior cost-effectiveness
