Al Clad Steel Double Side Ties (DBST’s)

For use on: AAC, ACSR, AAAC or SBC aluminium conductors and C&F Neck Insulators. 

Double Side Ties, manufactured of aluminum covered steel, secure conductors on double arm construction in the side groove of interchangeable headstyle insulators and are intended for larger line angles than top groove style ties. Double Side Ties feature an elastomeric tube that surrounds the bare conductor with a resilient cushion, providing superior abrasion protection under all types of conductor motion, including low-frequency galloping and high-frequency aeolian vibration. As a result, Double Side Ties with tie tubes provide better protection than hand ties over protective rods by providing an armoring layer that eliminates abrasion damage of the conductor and insulator caused by conductor motion. This extends the life of the electrical system and reduces maintenance.

Note:

1. Right-hand lay standard.
2. For the succeeding conductors ranges, the insulator’s top groove radius should be at least as large as shown above
