Applicator Ring

The PREFORMED™ Applicator Ring is a PLP®-designed tool which aids the lineman in making safe, fast, distortionfree applications of helically-formed products on energized conductors. The specially-beveled ring permits easy encirclement of the helical leg, and facilitates positioning

and removal of the product. The angle-curved neck of the Applicator Ring allows the tool to be safely and easily maneuvered around conductors. The Applicator Ring is available with a threaded base, or with a universal base, to secure it to either style of hot stick.

Polymer Insulators NOMENCLATURE

Benefits: • The polymer insulators match the properties of the covered conductor jacket.

dielectric

• The polyethylene surface coupled with the multiple skirt design with descending skirt diameters and long leakage distances provides superior moisture and contamination shedding properties. • UV Stabilized for long-term service. • High impact resistance – designed to reduce breakage and vandal/gun shot damage, particularly at cold temperatures. • The light weight design reduces shipping costs and lineman handling requirements. • ANSI compliant tie top head design facilitates the use of factory-formed ties for exceptional fit and performance.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The PLP Polymer Insulators are for use in overhead distribution lines using bare or covered conductors. They are particularly suited for use with Spacer Cable and Tree wire as a better electrical alternative, to porcelain insulators.

• Polymer Insulators can be used with jacketed jumper wires, eliminating skinning, and providing additional wildlife protection at equipment locations. • Vise Top Polymer Insulator designs provide a unique clamping mechanism for quick installation.

The insulators are made from a proprietary, high-density polyethylene-based compound with a dielectric constant compatible with polyethylene covered conductors.

• The same clamp and head design is used for all Vise Top Polymer Insulators. The skirt design varies by voltage application.

They are designed to meet most of the dimensional, electrical, and mechanical requirements of the ANSI C29.5 insulator standards, even though this standard applies only to Wet-Process Porcelain Insulators. These insulators can be used in any application that calls for porcelain insulators requiring adherence to this ANSI standard.

• A Vise Top Stringing Tool is offered to aid jacketed conductor installation.

Two basic designs are offered: Tie Top and Vise Top Insulators, both available for application on 1" or 1-3/8" pins depending upon the specific ANSI class or voltage application. The Tie Top Insulators are designed to meet most ANSI C29.5 insulator head dimensional standards for appropriate insulator classes with “C” or “F” necks. Therefore they are compatible with all PLP Formed Wire and Plastic Ties, and covered or bare tie wire. The Vise Top Insulators employ a unique clamp style head. While they are also designed to meet certain ANSI standards, the clamp head design is not applicable to ANSI tie top insulator head dimensional standards.

• Polyethylene material eliminates abrasion at the insulator/conductor interface.

10 Polymer Insulators Polymer Insulators

Tie Top Polymer Insulators: The PLP Tie Top Polymer Insulators are designed to match most Head and Neck dimensional standards for ANSI C29.5, class 55-3, 55-4, 55-5 or 55-6, 55-7, 56-1 pin type insulators. “C” ( 2 -1/4" nominal) and “F” ( 2-7/8" nominal) Neck sizes are available. Certain ANSI C29.5 25 & 35 kV insulator classes specify “J” neck dimensions (nominal 3.5" diameter) while the PLP polymer insulators for those classes utilize the more common “F” neck design.

Conductor Inserts: Compatible conductor inserts for either jacketed or bare conductors are available. Nylon inserts are offered for use with jacketed or bare copper conductors. Aluminum inserts are offered for bare aluminum conductors, although it is recommended that the utility determine the suitability of PLP Vise Top Polymer Insulators on bare conductors before installation.

By using ANSI head and neck dimensional standards, PLP metal or plastic factory formed ties will install easily and provide superior holding and electrical performance on PLP Tie Top Polymer Insulators. Consult PLP for suitability of other formed tie brands with these insulators. Covered or bare hand tie wire is also sutable for use with PLP Tie Top Polymer Insulators depending upon condutor type.

Torque Bolts: Two Torque Bolts are supplied with each vise top insulator. The breakaway torque ring is designed to insure the proper torque and subsequent holding force to the conductor will be applied during initial installation. All Vise Top Insulators use the same Torque Bolt. New Torque Bolts should be used whenever conductors are removed from the Vise Top Insulator or any time the bolts are unscrewed and initial torque is lost. Individual Torque Bolts are available for replacement as needed.

Vise Top Polymer Insulators: The PLP Vise Top Polymer Insulator utilizes a unique plastic clamp mechanism and black nylon torque bolts to secure the conductor. Nylon Torque bolts with break away heads are designed to provide a method to insure that proper torque is applied to the mechanism for fast and proper conductor clamping force.

Torque Bolt Hook Tool: An aluminum hook tool accessory is offered for use with hydraulic or power wrenches for easy installation of Torque Bolts. However the tool should be operated at low speeds.

Vise Top Stringing Tool: The polyurethane Vise Top String Tool (VTST) is offered to aid jacketed conductor installation. The VTST temporarily installs in the Vise Top clamp, by hand or with Hot Sticks, and is designed to permit short span, low tension jacketed conductor stringing without the need for stringing wheels. The tool is not recommended for use with bare cables, long spans, or line or sag angles over approximately 10˚. A proper size stringing block should be used at the 1st and last pole, at large line or sag angles, or long spans throughout the pull, rather then the tool. It is recommended harsh material pulling ropes, such as nylon, be avoided to minimize excessive wear to the inner bore surface of the tool. It is also suggested low pulling speeds be used when pulling rope or cable through the tool to avoid excessive wear. The tool can be reused, however it is recommended the tool be inspected after each pull to insure it is suitable for further use. Areas of wear on the tool from previous pulls can be rotated away from where the rope and conductors will rest in the bore during subsequent pulls. However do not reuse the tool if there has been excessive wear throughout all areas of the inner bore. Consult PLP for additional recommendations.
