Can SkyWrap unwind (un-wrap) during service?
No, the SkyWrap installation equipment wraps the SkyWrap cable along the host conductor or earth-wire (ground-wire) under constant and controlled tension at a pitch length of about 900mm (3ft). It is the accurate control of installation tension that ensures the SkyWrap cable remains in contact with the host throughout the operating envelop of the overhead line – allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the host, and it’s stretching due to ice and wind loads.
