Note: The cross-sectional area is the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the individual wires.
Properties shown are calculated in accordance with the methods of Appendix A, and are given for information purposes only.
Mass of conductor does not include grease.
The overall diameter is taken as the diameter of the circumscribing circle. For 3-wire conductors, the diameter is 2.155 D
(D = diameter of 1 wire); however, the projected area for wind loading is taken as 2 D.
Tabulated values are based on nominal diameters of wires and mean lay ratios.

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.
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.

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.
Note 1: These cables are designed only for use with approved Electropar PLP SPACER systems and as such any loss of
strength when operating at 90°C is permitted with these systems.

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.
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.

S&C SILVER POSITROL FUSE LINK FOR CUT-OUTS
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.

Non Contact Modiewark AC Voltage Tester - MWB
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.
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.

Electropar PLP’s Web Strap Ratchet Puller is lightweight and compact.The insulated
handle rotates 360° and features an automatic brake with a “notch at a time” ratchet
operation. The Web Strap Puller can be used with either a double or single strap.
When clean and dry, the web strap is non-conductive and ideal for live line use.
Note: * When using as a single strap, the safe working limit is reduced by 50%.
Electropar PLP’s RS1 4-Way Ratchet Spanner is the most useful tool in a linesman’s
kit. The 4-Way Ratchet Spanner is cleverly designed to fit M10, M12, M16 and M20
fastenings. Without removable sockets, the RS1 can be used for both distribution and
transmission and is ideal for crossarm braces, insulator spindles and tower bolts.
Electropar PLP’s stainless steel wire brush is a heavy duty linesman’s quality wire
brush that is used for cleaning copper or aluminium conductors prior to jointing
or terminating. The green handle identifies the bristles as stainless steel, differing
from orange handled wire brushes which have mild steel bristles.
Note: Never use the same wire brush to clean copper and aluminium conductors.

GLOVE AND BARRIER ACCESSORIES
Glove Dust
Electropar PLP’s Ten-Four Glove Dust is a cooling, frictionless powder that absorbs
moisture and perspiration when wearing rubber gloves. Ten-Four Glove Dust
provides extra comfort while preventing gloves from getting sticky. The 6oz bottle
easily fits in a pocket or glove bag.
Glove Bag
Using proper storage such as Electropar PLP’s glove bag extends the service
life of linesman’s gloves and sleeves. Folds and creases strain rubber and cause
gloves and sleeves to crack from ozone prematurely. By storing rubber gloves and
sleeves in the right sized bag or rollup and never forcing more than one pair into
each bag, equipment will lie flat and last longer.
In addition to other uses in the utility industry, Salisbury #21 Blanket Pegs can be
effectively used to hold insulating blankets in place. Springs are used for tension
while extra holes in the body of the pin are used to grip conductors and prevent
line hose from sliding.

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
For mechanical protection against cuts, abrasions and puncture, leather overgloves
should always be worn in addition to rubber insulating gloves. Manufactured from top
grade leathers, all overgloves are steam-pressed on curved hand forms to ensure a
good fit and feature extra wide leather reinforcement over the thumb seams. Overgloves
should be selected to match the class and size of the rubber gloves being used.
Overgloves fit either 9.5/10 rubber glove or 10.5/11 rubber glove. Standard sizes of
leather overglove listed in the table below.
