[email protected] 5.2. Safety Equipment

5.2.1. Personal Safety Equipment: Hard hats, safety shoes, eye and ear protection, work gloves, rubber gloves, high visibility clothing, long sleeves, long pants, and safety harness with lanyard should be used as appropriate by personnel working around ACCC® Conductor and installation equipment.

5.2.2. Grounding Safety Equipment: Hot sticks, voltage tester, ground cables with appropriate clamps, driven or screw type ground rods, grounding mats if needed, rubberized blankets if needed, equal potential area warning tape, conductor working zone boundary flags, all may be needed and should be used, but are outside the scope of this document.

5.3. Reel Handling Equipment 5.3.1. ACCC® Conductor is supplied on reels to customer specification and conforming

to DIN 46395 or NEMA WC 26 for steel reels (recommended) or DIN 46395 or NEMA WC 26 Class 3 for wooden reels. However, minimum winding surface (drum or hub) diameters are specified per CTC document number F-750-032.

5.3.2. Conductor reels may be moved by forklift, hoist or crane. See Chapter 4 for procedure and precautions.

5.4. Payout Reel Stand 5.4.1. Brakes. The function of the payout reel stand is to feed new conductor to the

tensioner UNDER CONTROLLED TENSION so the conductor feeds smoothly and evenly into the tensioner. The brakes effect this tension and must be maintained in excellent operating condition. Many reel stands are equipped with disc brakes. These are often undersized and poorly maintained. Hydraulic brakes are preferred to be used for ACCC® Conductor installation, preferably synchronized with the tensioner. NEVER use timbers, boards, poles or other make-shift devices for brakes!

5.4.2. Mandrel / Arbor Sizes 5.4.2.1. ACCC® Conductor is shipped on heavy duty reels appropriate to

support and protect the conductor for its storage and transport mode(s). The reels, depending on conductor size, will typically have one of the following arbor (bore) sizes. Complete reel specifications are found in F-750-032.

ASTM (inches) International (mm) Small 3.25 100 or 125 Large 5.25 140 or 200 or 250

5.4.2.2. Bushings must be used, if needed, to adjust the payout reel mandrel size up to the arbor size so that the reel rotates evenly about it’s axis.

5.4.3. Wooden Reel Stands are equipped with a mandrel that supports the weight of the reel and arms that clamp onto the wooden reel flanges and effect the rotational control of the reel. Wooden reel stands should NOT be used with metal reels unless the wooden reel stand is adapted to hold the metal reels so that good brake control is achieved. Ideally, metal reel stands should be used for metal reels and wooden reel stands should be used for wooden reels.

5.4.4. Metal Reel Stands are equipped with a mandrel that supports the weight of the reel

and arm(s) with drive pins that fit into matching holes in reel flanges and effect the rotational control of the reel. Wooden reels can be used with metal reel stands as long as there is a hole in the side of the reel to anchor the wooden reel with the pin that controls the reel.

5.4.5. Whether stands are designed for metal or wooden reels, rotational control is typically provided by either disc brakes or hydraulic motor. Hydraulic motor braking is strongly preferred for ACCC® Conductor installation. If disc brakes are used, the brakes must be in excellent condition and fully capable of quickly and smoothly stopping a full reel rotating at payout speed.

5.5. Tensioner

5.5.1. Tensioner bull wheels must be a minimum diameter as specified in Appendix B, measured at the bottom of the grooves of the bull wheel.

5.5.2. Only multi-groove tensioners and a minimum of four grooves should be used. The number of grooves in the bullwheel shall be sufficient to prevent conductor slipping and to maintain good tension control.

5.5.3. Tensioner bull wheel groove radius should be minimum .55 times conductor diameter to help control strand opening.

5.5.4. Tensioner bull wheel grove material shall be hard enough to avoid friction on outer layer of strands sufficient to cause strand loosening or birdcage.

5.5.5. See Section 6.1 for bundled applications. 5.6. Tensioner Fairlead

5.6.1. Poor tension control of the conductor feeding the tensioner will cause the conductor to bounce or pull tight on the rollers of the tensioner fairlead. This will damage the conductor core. Poor tension control at the fairlead is always caused by poor control of the brake on the payout reel stand, due either to poor condition or under capacity brake, or brake operation error. This has been the most common installation error in the history of ACCC®. It is critical to a) maintain good control of payout reel braking and b) correctly set-up the tensioner fairlead.

5.6.2. A curved, multi-roller (banana) fairlead on the input side of the tensioner is highly recommended for use with ACCC®Conductor. Pictured below is Tesmec/Condux, fairlead part number AYU077.

5.7. Core Retainer (Bug) 5.7.1. ACCC® Conductor is constructed with a smooth composite core surrounded by

one or more layers of aluminum strands. The core retainer (bug) prevents the core from slipping back inside during conductor installation so that the core is accessible for termination procedures. The bug is temporary, used only during handling and pulling/stringing.

5.7.2. Bugs are ACCC® Conductor specific and supplied by CTC. Bugs may be re-used but should not be used indefinitely. Do not reuse a bug when the nut does not screw into the body easily or if the inside collet appears worn or damaged.

5.7.3. Bug Installation / Removal Tools 5.7.3.1. Hammer 5.7.3.2. Core punch (included with bug) 5.7.3.3. Fine-Tooth (32 TPI or more) Hack Saw 5.7.3.4. Steel Wire Brush 5.7.3.5. 15” Crescent Wrench (2)

5.8. Pulling Grips (Socks) 5.8.1. Wire Mesh Grips or “Socks” – must be correctly sized, and kept in good condition,

free of rust or other contamination. Hubbell brand Kellems® K-Type Pulling Grips or Arrow Heart K-type Heavy Duty Pulling Grips are recommended.

5.8.2. Banding Tool

5.9. Tension Grips 5.9.1. Grips and Clamps – Parallel Jaw type must be long jaw, rated for the loads as

determined by the conductor size and the project pulling and sagging tensions. Klein brand Chicago® style (1628 series) grips are recommended. Use 1628-16P (7.25-inch jaws) for conductors 21.793mm (0.858 inches) outside diameter and smaller. Use 1628-30 (10.75-inch jaws) for larger conductors.

5.9.2. Wedge Type Clamps are suitable alternative. Must be rated for the loads and use

inserts correctly sized for the conductor diameter. Do not use wedge grips for pulling conductor. Use only for applying sagging tensions.

5.9.3. Tension grips and clamps should be inspected for rough surfaces and rough edges which may scratch or gouge the soft aluminum surface strands of ACCC®. Rough edges or surfaces must be corrected with fine tooth file or sandpaper.

5.10. Blocks (Sheaves or Travelers) 5.10.1. Grooves should be inspected before use to avoid surface defects which may

damage the fully annealed aluminum of ACCC®. Grooves should be lined with material (neoprene or urethane) which will help avoid marking the surface of the conductor.

5.10.2. See Minimum Sheave Size Chart, Appendix B

5.11. Hoisting Equipment 5.11.1. A Capstan Hoist will provide a smooth hoisting alternative to manual methods

which can damage the ACCC® core. Ensure that the hoist rating exceeds the loads.

5.11.2. Chain Hoist. Ensure that the hoist rating exceeds the loads.

5.11.3. Hoist Hooks, Rigging. ACCC® Conductor can be damaged by using point-contact hoisting equipment. Forces must be spread using wide hooks or nylon slings. Slings should be spread to provide for wide contact with the conductor.

5.12. Puller 5.12.1. Ensure that pulling machine rating exceeds the calculated loads.

5.13. Swivels 5.13.1. Pulling swivels must be in good condition, rotate freely, and be rated for the

pulling tensions.

5.14. Terminating and Splicing 5.14.1. Termination Hand Tools

5.14.1.1. Ratchet Cutter or Cable Cutter – for rough cuts only! Never use a ratchet cutter or cable cutter for final cut.

5.14.1.2. Cable Trimmer – cable trimmers must be kept sharp and in good mechanical condition. Cable trimmers with (correctly selected) cut depth control bushings are preferred. A cable trimmer that cuts too deeply can nick or score the conductor core, which will result in failure.

5.14.1.3. Fine Tooth (32 TPI or more) Hacksaw. In all cases, the final cut of

ACCC® core MUST be made with a fine tooth hacksaw!

5.14.1.4. Metal File – Smooth tooth, to remove flashing from deadend or splice

crimping process.

5.14.1.5. Crescent Wrenches (2) – approximately 15” or 380mm length.

5.14.2. Presses and Dies

5.14.2.1. Presses must be of sufficient capacity to properly crimp the termination hardware. Double-acting pumps and presses will dramatically improve the termination process time.

5.14.2.2. Dies - the use of proper press dies, sized and

configured correctly for both the press and the hardware, is critical for successful termination hardware installation. See the Compression Die Chart, Appendix B.

5.14.3. Consumables

• Hacksaw Blades – Fine Tooth (32 TPI) • Deadend Body and Splice Body Lubricant or Soap • Sandpaper - 220 Grit • Electrical Tape • Black Permanent Felt Tip Markers • HT Penetrox™ or Alnox® Electrical Joint Compound or equivalent oxidation

inhibitor. MUST be high temperature (200° C) oxidation inhibitor. o Repels water o Improves thermal transfer (helps joints run cooler) o Inhibits oxidation and corrosion

• OR AFL (brand) Filler Compound (AFC) or equivalent o Filler Compound protects the compressed steel barrels from corrosion.

Compressing removes galvanizing from the forging. The filler compound acts as a barrier to moisture.

o Filler Compound contains aluminum particles, which clean the strands (removing oxides) while compressing. Compressing forces the compounds within the strands.

o Filler Compound blocks moisture, which can wick up through the strands. Compressing forces the compound throughout the conductor strands.

6. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR BUNDLED APPLICATIONS

6.1. Tensioner Tensioners – Each conductor in the bundle should be tensioned by a separately controlled set of bull wheels. This is required for pulls with significant line angle or elevation changes. Multiple tensioner machines may be used but must be “synchronized” such that a single operator is controlling all the wheels. Major tensioner manufacturers offer models that handle up to 6 conductors simultaneously.

6.2. Payout Reels With multiple payout reels turning simultaneously, the payout reel brake controls are critical and must be automatically controlled from the tensioner(s). Automatic (hydraulic) reel control is an optional feature from all the major tensioner manufacturers.

6.3. Tensioner Feed-In Sheaves With multiple payout reels at every set-up site, perfect alignment is often not possible. A separate tensioner feed sheave between payout reel and tensioner fairlead is required for every conductor. This sheave, properly placed, will correct for vertical and elevation differences and can facilitate the placement of payout reels behind one another with respect to the tensioner. When supported in the plane of the conductor travel, the tensioner feed-in sheave can correct for horizontal or fleet angles where the payout reel(s) cannot be sufficiently aligned with the tensioner.

6.4. Sheave Blocks Multi-sheave blocks must be used (same diameter as would be used for single conductor pulling). Multi-sheave blocks should include one more sheave than the number in the bundle, the extra one in the center for the pilot line and running board tail. When even numbers of conductors are strung, a symmetrical arrangement is used with an equal number of conductors on each side of the pulling line. The independent center sheave is provided only for the pulling line and should be of suitable material to withstand the abrasion of the pulling line.

Page 13: Chapter 6 – Tools & Equipment – Table of Contents · Chapter 6 – Tools and Equipment WI-750-075 Rev D Page 2 of 19 ©2018 CTC Global- For use with ACCC® Conductor only 1.1.5

ACCC® Conductor Installation Guidelines Chapter 6 – Tools and Equipment

WI-750-075 Rev D Page 13 of 19

©2018 CTC Global- For use with ACCC® Conductor only

When odd numbers of sub conductors are strung, the center one could follow the pulling line in the center sheave. However, this is usually not desirable because of the material of the groove or because of contaminants deposited in this groove by the pulling line, or because of both. Offset-type bundle conductor travelers are used that balance the load by properly spacing the even and odd number(s) of conductors on each side of the pulling force. These travelers are directional and should be color-coded. Care should be taken to ensure their proper orientation.

6.5. Running Board or Balance Board A special device called a “running board” or “balance board” (or “gator”) distributes the pulling force from a single pilot line to the conductors evenly, establishes the spacing, and prevents the conductor bundle from twisting during pulling with a heavy “tail” which keeps the board level as it travels between structures. These should be used when pulling multiple conductors. Multi-sheave bundle conductor type travelers and running boards must be designed to complement each other and work in unison. Running boards should have their safe working load displayed.

6.6. Puller Pullers and winches must be capable of the required pulling forces. In bundled applications this is the sum of all the conductors plus the pulling line. Note: pulling force will increase approximately 2% at each block, for each subconductor.

7. TEN INSTALLATION DON’TS

7.1. DON’T OVER-BEND! 7.1.1. Don’t allow the conductor to contact surfaces that present sharp angles or small

diameters. 7.2. ONE Tensioner DON'T

7.2.1. Don’t let ACCC® Conductor run hard on the end roller of the fairlead. Always use a tensioner feed sheave between the payout reel and tensioner to guide the conductor into the middle of the tensioner fairlead opening. A multiple-roller “banana” fairlead is highly recommended.

7.3. TWO Payout Reel DON'TS 7.3.1. Don’t allow the conductor to bounce or jump up and down between the payout reel

and the tensioner. When the conductor is jumping or bouncing, the core can be damaged.

7.3.2. Don’t use a payout reel with insufficient brakes. Poorly maintained or undersized brakes will cause jumping and bouncing of the conductor between the payout reel and the tensioner. The payout reel brakes should allow the tensioner to draw new conductor from the reel smoothly and evenly.

7.4. THREE Handling and Equipment DON'TS 7.4.1. Don’t use grips that aren’t designed for installing ACCC®. Use Klein “Chicago”

long jaw grips or equal, designed for the size conductor being installed. Never use pocketbook grips!

7.4.2. Don't allow the conductor tail or the deadend to fall or droop unsupported while handling the conductor. If the tail is not controlled, it will damage the core at the back of the grip.

7.4.3. Don’t hoist the conductor in any manner which causes a sharp bend in the conductor.

7.5. TWO Pulling / Stringing DON’TS 7.5.1. Don’t install any ACCC® Conductor with under-diameter sheaves. 7.5.2. Don't pull in ACCC® Conductor using old conductor if the old conductor is rusty.

Don’t use old conductor with splices or broken strands for pulling. Always cut splices and any damaged areas out and replace with Kellum grips before using old conductor for pulling. When in doubt, pull in a pilot line using the old conductor and pull in ACCC® Conductor using the pilot line. Always use a pilot line for long spans and river crossings.

7.6. ONE Termination DON’T 7.6.1. Don’t allow a sharp bend where the conductor exits the termination hardware.

Hoisting conductor or deadend without paying attention to this area can damage the core at that point.
