AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 Armor Rods Armor rods are designed to protect the conductor by reducing bending, compression, and abrasion at the support point. Protection against flashover damage is also provided. Armor rods are recommended as protection for spans greater than 300 ft. (91 m). Manufactured from either aluminum alloy, Alumoweld ® , or galvanized steel, they are designed for use with ACSR, AAC, AAAC, ACSS, SSAC, TW Types and ACAR conductors as well as Alumoweld ® and steel ground wire. All rod sets are manufactured with right-hand lay as standard for aluminum-based material and left hand lay for Alumoweld and steel ground wire. Features Color Coded and Center Marked For ease of identification to conductor size, the armor rods are color coded in the center of the rod. This feature also assists in alignment of the rods during installation. Repair Damage When no more than 50% of the outside strands on an ACSR or aluminum conductor have been damaged outside the support point, armor rods may be used to restore 100% of the rated conductance and strength of the line. Vibration Protection Installing armor rods improves the conductor's ability to withstand the fatigue forces associated with aeolian type vibration. They do not function as vibration control devices. For assistance in determining the proper vibration protection, contact the AFL Technical Support Team or visit our website at www.Vibrec.com. Tap Over Armor rods may be tapped over on ACSR and aluminum conductor, but not on Alumoweld, or steel ground wire. Where tapping is used, it is strongly recommended that the conductor is thoroughly wire brushed and an oxide inhibitor be applied. Extra High Voltage Applications For 345 kV and above, the armor rod ends are modified to eliminate Corona effects and include a suffix of 'EHV' at the end of the AFL part number. Customized Armor Rods For armor rods with special requirements, such as longer lengths or non-standard lay direction contact the AFL Technical Support Team at 1-800-866-7385. @ Configuration @@ A - Aluminum AW - Alumoweld S - Galvanized Steel Material AR Basic Unit ### Numeric Range @@@ Blank - < 345 kV EHV - > 345 kV Voltage Range Blank - Single Support D - Double Support Numeric Range Code (from catalog) Series Designation Ordering Information Example: For single 795 26/7, Aluminum conductor diameter of 1.099 to 1.139 inches and Extra High Voltage, the complete catalog number is: AAR279EHV continued © 2006, AFL, all rights reserved.
