Catenary Wire Systems

Kingsmill can offer a range of products to form catenary wire protection systems.

These products encompass:

  • Wire
  • Turnbuckles
  • Masts

Such systems are used where an Isolated Lightning Protection System is required.

Factors that must be taken into account when designing such a system are:

  • Wire (cable) type, size and weight
  • Length of span, amount of wire (cable) sag
  • Wind loading factors
  • Ice loading factors
  • Protective angles

Free-Standing Masts

A catenary wire system is ideally constructed using our strong, lightweight mast.

However, smaller systems could utilise free-standing masts.
