Product Introduction

Gap type conductor

GTACSR, GZTACSR

APPLICATION:

GTACSR, GZTACSR used for overhead power transmission line.

Standard: IEC 62420, IEC 62219, IEC 60888, IEC 62004

Construction:

- The center is extra high strength galvanized steel, the outer layer is thermal-resistant (or super thermal-resistant) aluminum alloy.

- To create a gap between the core and the inner aluminum layer , the inner aluminum layer has a trapezoid shape.

- A gap between layers of aluminum alloy and steel core is filled with heat-resistant grease to prevent friction between the steel core and aluminum parts.

- The layers of aluminum alloy and steel core can move independently.

Characteristics:

Max. conductor temperature in normal operation:

GTACSR: 150℃

GZTACSR: 210℃

Advantages:

- GAP type conductors can carry up to 1.6 times (GTACSR) or 2 times (GZTACSR) the current of conventional overhead conductors due to their high temperature capability.

- Gap conductors are an excellent solution for uprating overhead lines. Existing ACSR conductors can easily be replaced by Gap conductors offering up to double the capacity.

- No or limited modifications to towers or structures are required.

Design

GTACSR/GZTACSR can be designed to have the same mechanical characteristics as existing ACSR. Design examples are shown below.
