Aluminum conductor steel-reinforced cables (ACSR) are usually used in overhead power lines, owing to their high strength and high capacity. Earlier, conductors used for transmission and distribution lines were primarily made of copper, however, over the years aluminum has entirely replaced copper because of its excellent conductivity, low cost, light-weight, and similar resistance. The outer strands of these cables are made of high-grade aluminum, while the center strand is made of steel since steel has higher strength than aluminum and provides support for additional mechanical tension applied on the conductor. The ratio of aluminum and steel in ACSR cables depends on the mechanical strength and current capacity required by various applications. Moreover, steel also deforms less due to mechanical loading and has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion, which allows these ACSR cables to sag less, as compared to all-aluminum conductors.

Transmission and distribution systems compose the entire power network. However, both systems have different functions. Transmission lines deliver the bulk power generating stations to power stations and large industrial consumers, whereas distribution lines carry the power from sub-stations to domestic and commercial users, and this power is usually transmitted either by employing overhead or underground systems. ACSR cables are majorly used in overhead systems, owing to their economic advantage, high strength, favorable design to provide higher tension, lower sag, and longer span lengths, compared to any other conductors.

Full tension swaged connector for reinforced cable

Abstract

The invention refers to a full tension swaged connector for a reinforced cable. An improved cable connector includes a connector insert having an axial bore dimensioned to receive the core of a reinforced cable. A connector body has a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a substantially cylindrical cavity. A distal portion of the cavity is dimensioned to receive the connector insert. A second portion of the cavity proximally displaced from the distal portion is dimensioned to receive the conductor strands of the cable. The connector body may be configured with one or more additional portions of the cavity having progressively increasing diameters, the number of such portions depending on the size of the cable. Alternatively, the inner surface of the cavity may have a slight taper. Using a single die, the connector body is compressed with a swaging tool at several axially spaced apart locations to grip the conductor strands and also to grip the connector insert.
