These clamps must generally support the cable every meter to the tower, in order to avoid any risk of slipper-age or longitudinal deformation due to its own weight, to the wind velocity, gusts and induced turbulences and finally to vibrations of the tower. In addition, in some area radial ice accumulation will increase the overall loading. In such case, a reduction in the hanger spacing is necessary.
