What is full tension splice?
ACSR Full Tension Splices are designed as a three component assembly generally for Sub-EHV applications. Consult PLP for details on ACSR Full Tension Splices for EHV applications. Restores original conductivity and full rated breaking strength to ACSR conductor.
What is a compression splice?
Definition: A compression connector used to join two conductors. There are different designs used for overhead and underground conductors. For overhead conductors, there are different designs for limited and full tension applications.

What is a conductor splice?
A splice is the joining of two or more conductors together in a manner that results in a permanent electrical termination and mechanical bond, and may be completed by either crimp or solder process.
What types of splices can be used on line conductors under tension?
For conductors under tension, automatic splices are also available. Connection through automatic splicer are done by inserting the conductors in each end, and serrated clamps within the splice grip into the conductor; with higher tension, the wedging action holds tighter.
What is an automatic splice?
CPI Automatic Splice Connectors are designed as a permanent or temporary connection on AAC, ACSR or AAAC conductor in full or partial tension applications. The unique open design helps overcome the two most common reasons for splice failure, improper installation and corrosion.
What is burndy Insulink used for?
Polyethylene caps prevent dirt from accumulating in barrel, grip cable for easy two-hand installation, and seal out moisture. Aluminum connector is anchored to jacket, assuring the connector is under the die when crimping….

What are the several kinds of splice and joints?
Types of Wire Joints & Splices
- Western Union Splice Joint For Wire. This is the most common type of wire splice.
- Rat Tail Joint For Wire. A rat tail splice, sometimes also called a pigtail, is another method of joining two conductors.
- Fixture Splice For Wire.
- Y Splice Joint For Wire.

What is Alcoa astraeatm?
Alcoa is developing a process that can convert low-quality aluminum scrap to quality levels far exceeding the purity levels at commercial smelters, potentially tapping vast supplies of unused aluminum scrap. Alcoa’s ASTRAEATM process is a proprietary technology that can purify any aluminum scrap to such high levels that it has…
What’s new at an Alcoa?
An Alcoa joint venture is ramping up a technology that eliminates all greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the traditional process used to make aluminum. The ELYSIS process generates pure oxygen, replacing all GHGs. LEARN MORE Our aluminum segment includes smelting, casting and select energy assets.
