COVERED OVERHEAD CABLES
INTRODUCTION TO COVERED OVERHEAD CABLES

COVEREDLIGN™
Electropar Preformed Line Products (PLP) COVEREDLIGNTM
medium voltage insulated overhead cable system is designed
for open wire type single, 2 or 3 phase construction. The
system can be built during new line construction or retrofitted
to existing poles and crossarms. Replacement of existing bare
wire circuits with partially insulated COVEREDLIGNTM cable
is an asset management strategy to improve SAIDI (System
Average Interruption Duration Index) and SAIFI (System Average
Interruption Frequency Index) performance.

The basis of the COVEREDLIGNTM system is a family of


insulated overhead cables that have been designed for
continuous operation at 80°C. The three distinct specifications
for COVEREDLIGNTM cables allows electric power utilities to gain
the reliability benefits of insulated overhead cables across their
networks, but with specific vegetation management strategies
as well as cost in mind. Electropar PLP’s COVEREDLIGNTM
system includes the insulated overhead cable together with all
of the pole line hardware and equipment to install and maintain
the medium voltage distribution system.

Current ratings based on 80°C conductor temperature.


Calculation method as used for the ratings in AS/NZS 3675 (Conductors - Covered overhead) and AS/NZS 3008.1.1 Electrical
installations - Selection of cables - etc.

Note 1: The maximum permitted normal operating conductor temperature for AAC or AAAC bare or covered conductors must
be limited to 80°C to avoid loss of strength. Refer to AS/NZS 3675.
Note 2: The conductor temperature for ACSR bare or ACSR covered conductors can be 90°C because the steel limits the loss
of strength on these conductors.
Note 3: See appendix BB5 of AS/NZS 7000 for explanation regarding loss of strength due to operating temperature.

INTRODUCTION TO COVERED OVERHEAD CABLES

General Information
COMPACTLIGN™
Development of the Electropar Preformed Line Products (PLP)
COMPACTLIGNTM system was pioneered by PLP Brazil to
address distribution network reliability and load growth issues.
Strung underneath a messenger wire, the COMPACTLIGNTM
system is rated for continuous operation at 90°C and is ideal for
areas of high load density or heavy vegetation. When installed in
areas with many trees, COMPACTLIGNTM requires the smallest
vegetation corridor of any Electropar PLP insulated overhead
cable system; just 300mm clearance between phase cables
and vegetation is recommended.

In towns, cities or areas of high load density, the small size of


the 3 phase COMPACTLIGNTM medium voltage bundle allows

standard height utility poles. When easements for new overhead
pole lines are not available owing to lack of physical space, this
means that additional medium voltage circuits can be added to
existing electric utility pole lines with a minimum of poles being
replaced. Electropar PLP’s COMPACTLIGNTM system includes
the insulated overhead cable together with all of the pole line
hardware and equipment to install and maintain the medium

For AAC, ACSR and AAAC

The ARMOR-GRIP ® Support is intended for use on


aluminium based conductors, and is designed to be used
with clamp top horizontal and vertical line post insulators.
The ARMOR-GRIP ® Support is designed to reduce
static and dynamic stress at the support point, so that the
conductor is better able to withstand the effect of vibration
than with armour clamp attachments. ARMOR-GRIP ®
Support protects against clamping fatigue through bending
and compression stress and against flashover arcing.

the cable is insulated, strip the insulation off the ends of the
conductors. The exposed strands of the cable should allow
for 10%-15% elongation of the connector once compressed.

3. Compress the connector, starting from the middle. 4. Continue compressing the connector working towards the
end where the cable is inserted. The “bites” of the die should
be overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important that you
do not leave any gaps between bites of the die. It is good
practice to rotate the tool by one flat every “bite” to avoiding
“banana-ing” the joint.

5. Once fully compressed, remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file. If the cable is insulated, apply a heatshrink
or tape insulation system to electrically insulate the cable
connection.

do not leave any gaps between bites of the die. It is good
practice to rotate the tool by one flat every “bite” to avoiding

strands of the cable should allow for 10%-15% elongation with EP Joint Seal compound. Insert the 4 conductors into
of the connector once compressed. the elliptical compression connector.

3. Compress the connector, starting from the blank end. 4. Continue compressing the connector working towards the end
where the cable is inserted. The “bites” of the die should be
overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important that you do not
leave any gaps between bites of the die. It is good practice
to rotate the tool by one flat every “bite”.

5. Once fully compressed remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file and then insulate the connection with a
heat shrink cable end cap. It is best practice to insert some
mastic tape into the crutch of the compressed elliptical joint
to completely seal it against water ingress.

1. Ensure you have the correct size of die, a suitable compression 2. Use a stainless steel wire brush to remove the oxide layer
tool and the correct jointing compound if the connector is from the outermost cable strands. Insert the conductor into
not pre-filled with EP Uni-Seal compound. If the cable is the connector.
insulated, strip the insulation off the ends of the conductors.
The exposed strands of the cable should allow for 10%-15%
elongation of the connector once compressed.

3. Compress the connector, starting from the palm end. 4. Continue compressing the connector working towards the
end where the cable is inserted. The “bites” of the die should
be overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important that you do
not leave any gaps between bites of the die.

5. Once fully compressed, remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file. If the cable is insulated, apply a heatshrink
or tape insulation system to electrically insulate the cable
connection. It is best practice to use jointing compound
between the electrical contact surfaces of the compression
terminal and whatever it is being bolted to.

1. Ensure you have the correct size of die, a suitable compression 2. Use a stainless steel wire brush to remove the oxide layer
tool and the correct jointing compound if the connector is from the outermost cable strands. Insert the conductor into

insulated, strip the insulation off the ends of the conductors.
The exposed strands of the cable should allow for 10%-15%
elongation of the connector once compressed.

3. Compress the connector, starting from the palm end. 4. Continue compressing the connector working towards the
end where the cable is inserted. The “bites” of the die should
be overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important that you do
not leave any gaps between bites of the die.

5. Once fully compressed, remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file. If the cable is insulated, apply a heatshrink
or tape insulation system to electrically insulate the cable
connection. It is best practice to use jointing compound
between the electrical contact surfaces of the compression
terminal and whatever it is being bolted to.

insulated, strip the insulation off the ends of the conductors.
The exposed strands of the cable should allow for 10%-15%
elongation of the connector once compressed.

3. Compress the connector, starting from the palm end. 4. Continue compressing the connector working towards the
end where the cable is inserted. The “bites” of the die should
be overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important that you do
not leave any gaps between bites of the die.

5. Once fully compressed, remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file. If the cable is insulated, apply a heatshrink
or tape insulation system to electrically insulate the cable
connection. It is best practice to use jointing compound
between the electrical contact surfaces of the compression
terminal and whatever it is being bolted to.

connector working from one end to the other. The “bites” of
the die should be overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important
that you do not leave any gaps between bites of the die.

5. Once fully compressed, remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file. If the cable is insulated, apply a heatshrink
or tape insulation system to electrically insulate the cable
connection. It is best practice to insulate the connector with
a tape insulation system after installation.

Bail Clamp (Stirrup Clamp)

Bail clamps protect overhead distribution lines by allowing hot line clamp connections
to be made without contacting the main line. Made from high strength, high
conductivity aluminium alloy, Electropar PLP's bail clamps accept a wide range
of mainline conductor sizes.

Designed for installation via hotstick, both sizes of bail clamp are perfectly suited
to installation with standard linesman's tools.

Part Catalogue Conductor Size


Number Number (mm2)
P03270-000 25 - 50
P03271-000 70 - 185

Live Line Clamp

Live line clamps provide the means of connecting line, fuse or transformer taps to
mainline aluminium or ACSR conductors. Live line clamps can be installed directly
onto the mainline conductor or onto a bail clamp (stirrup clamp).

Designed for installation on energised conductor via hotstick, the body and keeper
of the connector are aluminium alloy, the eye-stem is bronze alloy and the eye-stem
spring which maintains continuous contact pressure at the connector is stainless steel.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Ensure you have the correct size of die, a suitable compression 2. Use a stainless steel wire brush to remove the oxide layer
tool and the correct jointing compound if the connector is not from the outermost cable strands. Insert the conductor into
pre-filled with EP Uni-Grip “C” jointing compound. the connector.

3. Compress the connector starting from the insulator attachment 4. Continue compressing the connector working towards the
end. end where the cable is inserted. The “bites” of the die should
be overlapped by at least 10mm. It is important that you do
not leave any gaps between bites of the die. You must rotate
the tool by one flat every “bite” to avoiding “banana-ing” the
deadend joint.

5. Once fully compressed, remove any die flashing or sharp


edges with a file.

BELLEVILLE WASHER
POLE CAP - EPC

Belleville Type Spring Washer

• Maintains continuous pressure on between bolted current carrying electrical


surfaces.
• Reduce bolted joint fastener failures in electrical applications where maintaining
adequate load on the bolted connection is essential.
• Failure of a bolted connection is often due to a loss in load of the bolt or bolts
holding the connection together.
• Loss of load can be attributable to electro-migration in the joint or joints that
make up the connection. Electro-migration is the transport of material caused
by the gradual movement of the ions in a conductor due to the momentum
transfer between conducting electrons and diffusing metal atoms.
• Other natural occurring events that cause loss of mechanical load are
embedment of the high spots in the joint, changes in temperature, vibration,
yielding of the material making up the joint, relaxation of the bolts, over
tightening or under tightening the bolts.

S&C Standard Speed, S&C “K” Speed, and S&C “T” Speed
Positrol Fuse Links rated 6 amperes through 100  amperes,
and S&C “QR” Speed and S&C “N” Speed Positrol Fuse
Links rated 10 amperes through 100 amperes employ nickel-
chrome or helically coiled silver or silver-copper eutectic
fuse elements that are not affected by mechanical shock
or vibration, nor by transient surges that may heat the
element nearly to the severing point. Consequently, these
fuse links are non-damageable—eliminating nuisance fuse
operations and providing the permanently accurate time-
current characteristics essential to the integrity of carefully
engineered system coordination plans. Also, because
S&C Positrol Fuse Links are non-damageable, there is
no need to replace companion Positrol Fuse Links
on suspicion of damage following an adjacent-fuse operation.

Close Tolerance
S&C Positrol Fuse Links incorporating silver or silver-
copper eutectic fusible elements have a total melting-current
tolerance of 10% within the coordinating range (i.e., melting
times less than 10 seconds), compared to the 20% tolerance
for tin-element fuse links. The close tolerance is possible
because of physical properties inherent to silver and silver-
copper eutectic fuse-element materials and, also, because of
the meticulous care exercised in the manufacture, handling,
and assembly of S&C Positrol Fuse Links (Fuse-element wire
is inspected at S&C using a sophisticated laser micrometer
to ensure diametral tolerances as small as 0.0002  inch).
The narrow tolerance band for precision-manufactured S&C
Positrol Fuse Links not only permits closer fusing for improved
protection, but also more precise series coordination of fuse
links with other fuse links or with reclosers for enhanced
service reliability.

Switch Operation

When the switch is closed, each interrupter shunt arm is


positioned between the auxiliary return arm and the opening
shunt contact. The return arm is an extra visual assurance
that the interrupter was reset, and is ready for the opening
operation.

Figure 1
Switch in closed position. Interrupter shunt arm is between
shunt contact and auxiliary return arm.

As the switch is opened, each interrupter shunt arm


engages the shunt contact, transferring current through
the interrupter. The curved shape of the shunt contact
guides the shunt arm through its travel and keeps the arm
centered on the contact surface. A copper-bronze alloy
inset minimises display (see Figure 2).

As each blade reaches 45° open, the latch inside the


interrupter holding the spring loaded trailer releases.
This provides a consistent interrupting speed. Switching
performance is independent of the speed of the operating
pipe or hookstick mechanism. As the blades open to 90°,
the interrupter shunt arm snaps back into position beneath
the interrupter.

Figure 2
Switch during opening. Interrupter shunt arm engages shunt
contact, transferring current through the interrupter.

As the switch is closed, each interrupter shunt arm


is guided into position by the curved back of the shunt
contact, as the blade closes into the jaw contact guide
fingers (see Figure 3). The shunt arm again comes to rest
between the return arm and the shunt contact as shown
in Figure 1.

Figure 3
Switch during closing. Interrupter shunt arm is guided into
place by shunt arm guide, as jaw contact guide fingers guide
blade into place.

Deploying APDs successfully may also require the use of


an insulator grading coil. Manufactured from fully annealed
aluminium wire, the grading coil is looped around the neck
of the insulator (as illustrated) and connected to the APD to
grade the voltage stress at the insulator in the event of an arc.

Use of a grading coil ensures the flashover will occur at the


APD rather than the insulator, avoiding damage to the insulator

VOLTAGE TESTER
CABLE STRIPPING TOOL

Linesman’s Tools
Non Contact Modiewark AC Voltage Tester - MWB

Designed to detect the presence of an alternating electric field, the Modiwark AC


Voltage Tester identifies AC voltages from 240V to 33kV.

Used for checking the voltage on live or de-energised outdoor overhead


conductors and indoor conductors, the Modiewark AC Voltage Tester consists of
a 4.5V transistor amplifier, diode lamp, audio buzzer and a sensitivity attenuator.
The sensor plate in the cap is flat, allowing for directional checks. For example, it
is easy to check for low voltages when high voltage is nearby as the tester faces
away from high voltages. As well as the off settings, there are six voltage settings.

All high voltage tests should be carried out with the tester attached to a hot stick
or, alternatively, rubber insulating gloves may be used. Verification of a “dead”
conductor should include checking the tester on a nearby “live” conductor. Induced
voltages on isolated conductors are checked by increasing the sensitivity. Failure
of the attenuator through a damaged switch or resistor will cause the tester to
operate at full sensitivity.

It is recommended that the tester be moved progressively closer until warning of


voltage is indicated or until it touches conductor apparatus or test point.

Other models are also available for voltages up to 500kV and include features
such as self test, battery check and up to nine voltage settings.

LIVE LINE RUBBER INSULATING GLOVES, OVERGLOVES AND SLEEVES

Linesman’s Tools
Live Line Rubber Insulating Gloves

Electropar PLP’s live line insulating gloves are manufactured in a curved hand style
with seamless construction. Before leaving the factory, each rubber insulating glove
is visually inspected inside and out, and electrically tested at its proof test voltage
in accordance with ASTM 120. Low voltage gloves are supplied in single colours.
For easier inspection, high voltage gloves feature two colour construction. Deeper
snags or scratches expose the inner colour and clearly signify damage serious
enough to remove the glove from the field.

Available in full and half sizes, correct glove sizing is important because ill-fitting
gloves cause hand cramps, reduced flexibility and fatigue. To determine the correct
size, measure around the knuckles in inches (excluding the thumb) and then add
one inch. The most common size of glove is a 10. Allow extra room if cotton glove
liners are to be worn. Live Line Insulating Gloves Sizing Chart
