Pilot Wire Connector (or Connecting Joint) is an essential component used in the construction and maintenance of overhead transmission lines. It serves to connect the pilot wire (a small, non-energized wire used for communication or control) to the main transmission line or between sections of the pilot wire itself.
Pilot wires are typically used for monitoring, synchronization, or control purposes within transmission systems, helping to relay signals for communication between various parts of the power grid. The connector or joint ensures a reliable, safe, and secure connection between different sections of the pilot wire.
