For proper performance and personal safety, be sure to select the proper size PREFORMED™ products before application.When working in the area of energised line with this product, extra care should be taken to prevent accidental electrical contact.This product is intended for use by qualified linesmen only.This product is intended for a single (one-time)use and for the specified application, although it may be re-applied twice for retensioning within 90 days from initial installation.


Preformed Armor Rods are chamfered and over a certain size are ball ended to create a smooth uniformed finish to minimise corona. Preformed Armor Rods are extremely effective in relieving orsuppressing conductor strains and therefore extending conductor service life.
#INMR MANUAL FULL#
Armor Rods may be used to restore full conductance and strength to AAC, AAAC and ACSR conductors, except high strength ACSR, where damage does not exceed 50% damage for7&19 strand conductors or 25% damage for37 & 61 strand conductors. Armor rods are recommended as a minimum protection for clamp type supports orsuspension. The degree of protection needed on a specific line depends upon a number of factors such as line design, temperature, tension, exposure to wind flow and vibration history on a similar construction in the same area. PREFORMED Armor Rods General Recommendations:Īrmor Rods are intended to protect against bending, compression, abrasion, arc-overwhilst also being capable of providing a repair function. It is best known for its high conductivity and strength.įor use on: ACSR, Compacted ACSR, Aluminum Alloy All-Aluminum, AWAC® Compacted All-Aluminum, ACAR, ACSS (AW & TW) Available in single and double support lengths, these armour rods are wisely made of aluminium alloy. This preformed rod also restores the mechanical strength and conductivity of the conductors. In addition, these armour rods are specially designed to repair damaged aluminum-based conductors. This Preformed Armour Rod is extensively used for designing to protect the cable against compression, bending, abrasion and flash-over. Available PARROT-BILL ends to meet the corona onset and RIV requirements for most EHV applications. Thermal Rating (Continuous) Within a high temperature Suspension Clamp 250☌, ACSS Repair 250☌, ACSR Repair 125☌. Single and Double Support lengths available They are also used to repair damaged aluminum-based conductors and restore the conductors' mechanical strength and conductivity. ARMOR RODS are designed to protect cable against bending, compression, abrasion, and flash-over.
