Aluminium Formed Splice (AFS’s)

For use on: AAC, AAAC, ACSR or SBC Conductors

PLP’s conductor splices are used for making connections between two bare conductors. PLP’s mid-span conductor splices will restore full mechanical and electrical properties and provide an economical and highly efficient splicing method.

On all-aluminum, aluminum alloy, and copper conductors of homogenous stranding, the Conductor Splice will hold a minimum of 90% of the rated breaking strength of, and provide better conductance than, an equal length of unspliced conductor.

On ACSR conductor, the Conductor Splice will hold a minimum tension amounting to the full strength of the aluminum strands plus 10% of the steel core strength.  Conductance will be better than in an equivalent length of unspliced conductor.

Note:

1. Full Tension Applications (90% RTS as per AS1154.3)       
2. * Limited Tension Application (55-90% RTS)
