What's the difference between DT(M) and DTG?

In power system, copper nose DT(M) and DTG are both common combined clamps. They play an important role in power transmission and distribution system. Let's introduce the difference between DTG (M) and DTG in detail.

First of all, let's look at the name. The "m" in DT(M) stands for "copper bus", which means it is suitable for 2 ~ 6 kV bus system. DTG stands for "copper grounding wire clamp" and is mainly suitable for grounding wire connection.

Secondly, there are some differences between DTG (M) and DTG in structure. The copper nose DT(M) is usually made of copper. It has good electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance, can ensure the transmission of current and effectively prevent corrosion. DTG is usually made of copper alloy, which has certain elasticity and corrosion resistance and can adapt to different environmental conditions.

In addition, there are some differences between DTG (M) and DTG. Bronze nose DT(M) is mainly used for protection. Another paper, Performance Analysis and Research of Grounding Clamp, points out that DTG, as a grounding clamp, is made of copper alloy with good elasticity and corrosion resistance, which ensures the stable operation of grounding system.

To sum up, the copper nose DT(M) and DTG have different application fields and characteristics in power system. Understanding their differences will help us to better select and install the appropriate conductor clamps and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.
