GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
-CUSHION-GRIP Suspensions are intended for use on all aluminum based conductors, and are 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.
-The level of protection provided by the CUSHIONGRIP Suspension is comparable to a bolted clamp over armor rods. This equates to a reduction in bending strain as high as 50% as compared to bare conductor in a bolted clamp. This reduction in bending strain can be directly related to an increase in overall conductor life. The standard CUSHION-GRIP Suspension is designed for up to 125°C continous conductor operation (150°C two hour emergency) and the CGS-HT version can be used for applications with continous conductor operating temperatures up to 200°C (225°C two hour emergency).
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
-The CUSHION-GRIP Suspension is shipped assembled with no loose parts. All fasteners are factory installed to eliminate lost hardware in the field.
-Labor Savings (To install the CUSHION-GRIP Suspension simply spread the body halves, place over the conductor, and tighten bolts).
-Integral Cushions (minimize conductor bending stresses at critical entry locations).
-Compatible with standard attachment hardware.
-Designed for EHV applications (corona free in bundled 345 kV applications).
-Easy Hot Stick application (Lower captive fasteners act as hinge to facilitate hot stick application).
VERTICAL ULTIMATE LOAD:
-The vertical ultimate load of the CUSHION-GRIP Suspension is listed in the table on the next page.
SLIP LOAD.:
-When initially installed, the CGS Clamp has a slip load that ranges between 10% to 15% of the conductorÂ’s rated breaking strength (RBS).
LINE ANGLE:
-The maximum recommended line angle for a CUSHION-GRIP Suspension is 30° as a single suspension and 60° in a double configuration utilizing a yoke plate.
