Overview

Product Description

Preformed Line Products MG-0127 LINE GUARDS ALUMINUM .244-.259 NEW PROTECTION: -PREFORMED Line Guards are intended to protect against abrasion and arc-over, and to provide limited repair. The degree of protection needed on a specific line depends upon a number of factors such as line design, temperature, tension, exposure to wind flow, and vibration history on similar construction in the same area. -As a general guide, the following recommendations may be adopted to the specific conditions. -Line Guards are recommended as minimum protection for hand-tied spans. -PLP® Factory Formed Ties are recommended as improvements over Line Guards secured with hand tie wire. They protect against chafing or wear caused by wind sway or unbalanced loading. Preformed Line Products Ties also provide a stronger material and greater uniformity than hand tie wire. -Armor Rods are recommended as minimum protection for clamp-type supports or suspensions. The use of supplemental damping devices, such as Spiral Vibration Damper, should be considered when conductor vibration is present or expected. LINE GUARDS RESTORATIVE-REPAIR: -Line Guards may be used as patch rods designed to restore full conductance and strength to ACSR and aluminum conductors where damage is located outside the support area and does not exceed 25 percent of the outer strand layer. Consult Preformed Line Products for repair capability of specific strandings. NOTE: -When Line Guards are used to repair damaged aluminum-based conductors, the following application steps will produce optimum electrical repair: -Step 1: Thoroughly wire-brush damaged conductor for the full length of the Line Guard to be applied. -Step 2: Apply a gritted inhibitor to the full length of this area before applying the Line Guard. TAPPING: -Line Guards may be used as tap armor to protect conductors from wear and flash-over damage under hot line taps. Where it is known that tapping clamps will be installed over Line Guards, it is recommended that the conductor be thoroughly wire brushed clean, then an inhibitor be applied. APPLICATION-INSPECTION: -After application of the correct number of rods per set, a slight gap between rods should be present. Consult the General Information Section for detailed explanation.
