ACSR TWISTED PAIR (TP) CONDUCTOR

Functions

ACSR/TP overhead conductor consists of two standard concentric stranded ACSR conductors twisted around each other. It may be installed using techniques and equipment similar to that used to install other concentric round wire conductors. However, a few special procedures must be used to maintain equal tension between the two component conductors. The equipment recommendations and special procedures in this guide along with recommendations given in IEEE Std. 524, “Guide to the Installation of overhead Transmission Line Conductors”, should be followed.
