GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
-Link Assembly (5), Yoke Plate (6), and Socket Clevis (7). ARMOR-GRIP Suspension is intended for use on aluminum based conductors, Alumoweld and galvanized steel strands. It is designed to reduce the static and dynamic stresses at the support point, so that the conductor or strand is protected against the effects of oscillations. It also protects the conductor in the support against impulse and power flash-over.
-ARMOR-GRIP Suspension is recommended as being superior to armor -- clamp combinations, for protecting conductors from bending stress, compression stress and abrasion.
VERTICAL ULTIMATE STRENGTH:
-Refer to dimensional tables in this section. SLIP LOAD. When initially installed, the AGS® Unit has a slip load of approximately 20% of the conductor RBS and approximately 10% of the EHS strands RBS during unbalanced load conditions, but significantly higher loads can be expected after the unit has been in service for a period of time.
THERMAL RATING:
-Two versions of the ARMOR-GRIP Suspension are available. The standard version is designed for up to 200°C continuous temperature, and the high temperature version (HT), which can withstand a continuous conductor temperature of 250°C.
LINE ANGLE:
-The maximum recommended line angle for a single support AGS Unit is 30°. For angles between 30° and 60°, the ARMOR-GRIP Suspension: Double is recommended. Refer to pages 1-18 thru 1-24 for catalog numbers.
