History of THERMOLIGN Hardware at PLP®

Preformed Line Products has been involved with the design,
testing and production of hardware and accessories for High
Temperature Low Sag Conductors (HTLS) since 1999.
PLP registered the brand name THERMOLIGN to represent
products that are intended for use on new HTLS conductor
technologies that have maximum continuous operating
temperatures ranging from 180° C to 250° C.
THERMOLIGN products have been designed and thoroughly
tested both in the laboratory and in the field to meet the uniquerequirements of high temperature operation while still providing
a service life of 40 to 50 years.

Since 1947, PLP has been recognized as a leader in providing
innovative solutions to protect overhead line conductors fromwind and ice related forces and dynamic stresses. The uniquenature of the materials used in the core of many of the
HTLS conductors require the extra protection provided by the
THERMOLIGN hardware designs.
Both in the U.S. World Headquarters and subsidiaries
throughout the world, PLP has experienced engineering
personnel and world class laboratory facilities to assure that the
THERMOLIGN products meet industry specifications and thespecial requirements for high temperature operation.

AGS-200 Suspension
NOMENCLATURE

Thermal Rating (Continuous) 200°C

AGS® Bolt, Washer, Lock Nut: Galvanized Steel.
AGS Strap:

High-Strength Aluminum Alloy.

AGS Insert: An elastomer specifically formulated for resistance to ozone attack, weathering, extreme high and low		temperature variations, and compression set. An aluminum alloy reinforcement is molded into the elastomer.
AGS Housing:		 High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Casting.
AGS Rods: Aluminum Alloy		Standard Armor Rods have dimensions which are different from AGS Rods and cannot be substituted.
Ball End Rod: Rod has a Ball End for non-EHV application. PARROT-BILL® ends are supplied for EHV application.
		(345kV and above).

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONSThe AGS-200 Suspension has passed the “Sequential
Mechanical Testing of Conductor Designs with Composite
Cores”, and has more than 60 years of proven performance.
The unique design utilizing elastomer inserts and rods greatly
reduces static and dynamic stresses on the conductor at
supporting structures.

VERTICAL ULTIMATE STRENGTH. Refer to dimensional tablesin this section.
SLIP LOAD. When initially installed, the AGS-200 Suspension
Unit has a slip load of approximately 20% of the conductor RBS
and approximately 10% of the EHS strands rated breaking strength(RBS) during unbalanced load conditions, but significantly higher
loads can be expected after the unit has been in service for aperiod of time.
THERMAL RATING. The AGS-200 Suspension is designed for
200° C continuous conductor temperature.
LINE ANGLE. The maximum recommended line angle
for a single support AGS-200 Unit is 30°. For angles
between 30° and 60°, the AGS-200 Suspension: Double isrecommended.

AGS-200 Suspension: PARROT-BILL® Ends

PLP offers a complete line of fittings designed for use with the
AGS-200 Suspension. See this section for details.

To meet the corona onset and RIV requirements for most
extra-high-voltage applications (345kV and above), PARROTBILL Ends are to be used instead of the standard ball-end rods.

For use on ACFR® Conductor

Thermal Rating (Continuous) 200°C

AGS-200 Support Rods: Aluminum alloy for aluminum based
conductor diameter range .482" to 1.828". Standard rod ends
are supplied for sub-EHV applications and PARROT-BILL® rod
ends are supplied for EHV applications.
Color Code: Identifies conductor diameter range.
Center Mark: Identifies starting location and center of rods
during installation.
Identification Tag: Identifies rod material, conductor type anddiameter range.
Special Note about Conductor Range: Each AGS-200 Support
housing unit has a wide conductor range and is an overlapping
design that incorporates several different pairs of inserts andsets of rods. Each pair of inserts has a narrow conductor range
and will accommodate a few different sets of rods. Each set ofrods has a very narrow conductor range and is designed for use
only on the size conductor listed on the ID tag.

AGS-200 Support
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
AGS-200 Support is intended for use on ACFR® conductors andis designed to be used with clamp-top horizontal and verticalline post insulators.
The AGS-200 Support is designed to reduce static anddynamic stress at the support point, so that the conductor isbetter able to withstand the effects of vibration than with armorclamp attachments. It also helps protect the conductor against
flashover in the support area.
While AGS-200 Support provides improved protection against
vibration fatigue of the conductor, on some lines vibration may
be so severe that the use of vibration dampers may be necessary. Utilities that have experienced vibration or expect to should
consider adding dampers. Consult PLP for general guidelines
and recommendations concerning vibration and dampers.
Unbalanced Loading. The AGS-200 Support will withstand an
unbalanced load of approximately 10 to 20% of the conductor RBS
before initial slip occurs. Slightly higher unbalanced loads will beobtained after the unit has been in service for a period of time.

AGS-200 Support Double: A special AGS-200 Support isavailable for applications utilizing a double support. The
minimum distance between the double support points is listedon the next page. Contact PLP for an engineering recommendation and additional information when considering use of the
Double-Support unit.
Loading Consideration. In the work of line design, the cantilever strength of the insulator may be the governing factor, rather
than the strength rating of the AGS-200 Support for unbalanced
loading, mechanical strength, and turning angles.
Unusual Line Conditions. The AGS-200 Support may berotated vertically on the trunnion pins a maximum of 15° before
the bottom of the unit interferes with the insulator cap. Thisshould be considered for those terrain conditions, such as asteep side hill, which might result in the unit being installed at
an angle from the horizontal.

For use on ACFR® Conductor

Mechanical Strength. The AGS-200 Support will withstand apulloff load from the trunnion pins of the insulator cap of 5,000
lbs. applied in any direction. This includes the vertical up direction so that the unit will withstand an uplift load. Since the boreof the unit is symmetrical throughout the entire 360° range, aradial conductor load may be applied safely in any direction.
Line Angles. A maximum line angle of 30° may be turned
using a single AGS-200 Support, and a maximum of 60° usinga Double-Support unit.

Ductile Iron
(Galvanized Base)
SpringGENERAL RECOMMENDATIONSThe CGS-200 Support is intended for use on ACFR® conductors, and is designed to reduce the static and dynamic stresses
at the support point, so that the conductor is protected against
the effects of oscillations. The conductor is cushioned by field
proven, integral elastomer inserts, which guard against abrasion,wear and fatigue.

Features and Benefits:• The CGS-200 Support is shipped assembled. All fasteners
are captivated in the keeper.
• Labor Savings – To install the CGS-200 Support simply install
the base, place the keeper over the conductor, and tighten
bolts.
• Integral Cushions – minimize conductor bending stresses atcritical entry locations.

VERTICAL ULTIMATE LOAD. The CGS-200 Support will withstand a pulloff load from the trunnion pins of the insulator capof 5,000 lbs., applied in any direction. This includes the verticalup direction (uplift).
SLIP LOAD. When initially installed, the CGS-200 Support has
a slip load that ranges between 10% to 15% of the conductor’s
rated breaking strength (RBS).
LINE ANGLE. The maximum recommended line angle for a
CGS-200 Support is 30°.

NOMENCLATURE

GENERAL INFORMATION
Arm

KeeperFrame
Elastomer Inserts

Thermal Rating 200°C Continuous

ORDERING INFORMATION
For standard 18" (457mm) sub-conductor spacing the catalog
numbers are:CGSDB-X45YZHT
Where X is 3 for Tri, 4 for Quad, 6 for Hex, and YZ is taken fromthe conductor range table below.
Example:CGSDB-34529HT is a High Temperature Spacer Damper for
a Tri Bundle of conductors within a diameter range of 1.107" to1.146" (28-29 mm).

The Spacer Dampers – 200 for Tri and Quad feature elastomer
damping elements engineered to absorb maximum energy. This
design provides the greatest possible resistance to conductor
fatigue by eliminating the need for additional vibration dampers.
UNIQUE DESIGNSThe Spacer Damper – 200 design was developed in cooperation
with the Engineering Team at PLP-Brazil to meet the demanding
requirements of IEC Specification 61854, while maintaining alight overall weight and exceptional performance.
PATENTED DAMPING ELEMENTS
The Spacer Damper – 200 design employs unique damping elements which are captured in a way which assures the elastomer
is always in compression, providing maximum service life.
FIELD PROVEN
The Spacer Damper – 200 has been used extensively throughout
Europe and Brazil since its introduction in the early 1990s, andthe U.S. since 2004.
CLAMP FASTENER ASSURES PROPER INSTALLATION
A high strength 1/4 turn fastener is employed in the elastomer
lined conductor clamp is to insure proper installation. This
design provides consistent compression of the elastomer
liners without relying on specific bolt torque values or bolts withbreak-away heads.
If clamps with bolts or breakaway bolts are preferred, consult
PLP for catalog numbers.
PLACEMENT IS THE KEY TO PERFORMANCE
PLP’s extensive experience and laboratory and field testingallow it to provide you with placement recommendations thatwill minimize the motion of conductor bundles and maximize
the longevity of the Spacer Damper.

NOMENCLATURE
1. Clamp & Keeper: The Clamp has an extruded hook shaped
profile to hang onto the cable or conductor while tightening
the keeper. Together, the aluminum keeper and clamp capture
the conductor to hold the damper assembly firmly onto the
conductor or cable. Product identification, installation torque,and lot number are permanently etched on the clamp.
2. Bolt, Washer, and Lock Washer: The bolt, washer and lockwasher are used to fasten the keeper to the clamp and secure
the entire damper assembly to the cable or conductor. The
materials used are galvanized steel. An optional break-awaybolt version is available.
3. Large Damper Weight: The Vibration damper design shown
above has two weight sizes – this provides up to 4 resonant
response frequencies (two for the large weight and two forthe small weight) for more effective protection. The weight isa galvanized ductile iron casting.

4. Small Damper Weight: The small weight provides
damping at higher frequencies. The weight is a galvanized
ductile iron casting.
5. Messenger: The messenger is made of formed hard steel
wires that are galvanized for corrosion resistance.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONSINTENDED USE: Vibration Dampers provide reduction ofaeolian vibration amplitude and the associated dynamic
stresses on the ACFR® conductor at the supporting hardware.
APPLICATION: For most applications, the Vibration Damperis placed on the AGS-200 Suspension Rods. In cases of
Dead-end to Dead-end spans or for very long spans, it may benecessary to position the damper on the conductor. For thesesituations, it is recommended that Protector Rods be applied to the
conductor before installing the damper.

Placement: The VORTX placement software uses the resultsof extensive laboratory testing and the standing wave loop
geometry for critical wind velocities to “optimize” the quantity andplacement of dampers for the specific line and terrain conditions.
Use the link www.plpvortx.com to get an input sheet to provide
PLP with the data required to provide a complete placement
recommendation.

Sub-Sets: Individual rods assembled and gritted into groups(subsets), corresponding to tabular information appearing on
catalog page.
Center Mark: Establishes recommended alignment of rods
during application.
Color Code and Length: Assist in identification of conductor size, corresponding to tabular information appearing on
catalog page.
Identification Tape: Shows catalog number, nominal sizes.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Conductor Splices can be used on ACFR® conductor to repair
damage to the Aluminum strands that exceeds the maximum
number that can be repaired by Armor Rods.
Conductor Splices are capable of restoring the electrical conductivity of the conductor even if all of the aluminum strands
have been broken or cracked. The composite core must be
intact (undamaged).
EHV (345kV and above) versions of the conductor splices with
PARROT-BILL rod ends are available for the larger conductors
typically used for higher line voltages.

COLOR MARKS AND CENTER MARK

DEAD-END SHUNTGENERAL RECOMMENDATIONSThe Splice Shunt is designed to restore electrical conductivity
and a portion of the mechanical strength to compression splices.
The Dead-end Shunt restores electrical conductivity between the
conductor in the span and the jumper loop. In addition to usinga Shunt for repair of faulty compression fittings, it can be used
to reinforce and reduce the temperature of existing compression
fittings for increasing the capacity (uprating) of a line.
