Gap-type Conductors

These conductors have a special construction feature with a small gap filled with grease between the high strength steel core and the thermal resistant Al-Zr alloy conductive layers. This allows:

Installation method of GZTACSR is well but requires skilled specialists because at the time of sagging, a special sagging method is required to apply all the tension to the steel core only.

Gap-type conductors are particularly suitable to replace ACSR conductors in flat lands or in any case with small difference in level.
