Abstract
A device for damping vibrations of an overhead conductor comprises a die cast weight and housing comprised of opposed weight and housing halves located on opposed sides of a clamp arm and having spherical outer surfaces to minimize corona and tooling costs. The clamp arm is located between two tubular elastomer damping elements secured in place between the clamp arm and the weight and housing halves. The damping device, in addition, includes a pin that secures the weight and housing halves, clamp arm, and damping members together in a sandwich-like construction.
