PREFORME-xAAL

FEATURES

Exceptional Tensile Strength: Constructed from high-strength materials like aluminum or steel alloys, these dead ends are engineered to withstand the substantial tension loads exerted by electrical conductors, particularly in high-voltage applications. This ensures the secure anchoring of conductors to supporting structures, even in the face of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and heavy ice loads. Their robust construction guarantees the integrity and reliability of the power distribution network, minimizing the risk of outages and disruptions.

Superior Corrosion Resistance: The materials used in their construction are often treated or coated with specialized coatings to enhance their resistance to corrosion. This is crucial for maintaining the long-term integrity and performance of the dead ends, especially in coastal regions, industrial areas, and other environments with high levels of corrosive agents. By resisting the corrosive effects of environmental factors, these dead ends contribute to the longevity and overall efficiency of the power distribution system.

Preformed Design for Efficient Installation: The dead ends are preformed into specific shapes, streamlining the installation process and minimizing the risk of human error. This preformed design also contributes to faster and more cost-effective installations, reducing downtime and project expenses. The preformed design eliminates the need for on-site bending and shaping, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This leads to significant time and cost savings during installation.

Versatility to Accommodate Diverse Applications: Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, these dead ends can be adapted to accommodate various conductor types and sizes. This flexibility allows for their use in a broad spectrum of power distribution applications, from small rural networks to large-scale urban grids. Their versatility ensures that they can be seamlessly integrated into different power distribution systems, regardless of their scale or complexity.

Proven Reliability and Safety: Distribution Preformed Dead Ends have a well-established track record of reliability and safety in demanding power distribution environments. They have undergone rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure their ability to withstand the stresses of everyday operation, as well as extreme events such as earthquakes and severe storms. Their proven reliability and safety inspire confidence in the long-term performance and durability of the power distribution system.

By incorporating these key features and benefits, Distribution Preformed Dead Ends play a vital role in ensuring the reliability, safety, and efficiency of power distribution systems worldwide.

INSTALLATION GUILDELINES

Strand Compatibility: Distribution Preformed Dead Ends should be used only on the size and strand for which they are designed. They must have the same lay as the strand to which they are applied.

When ordering Distribution Preformed Dead Ends, make sure to specify the strand on which it is to be used and the strand lay.

When using types of strand and/or sizes of strand not mentioned in these catalog pages, consult EMAAR for compatible Distribution Preformed Dead Ends designs.

During installation and at all times, care should be taken to avoid gouging or damaging the corrosion preventive material of either the Distribution Preformed Dead Ends or the strand.

Distribution Preformed Dead Ends must not be used as tools, that is, come-along, pulling-in grips, etc.

Normally tools are not required to install Distribution Preformed Dead Ends, however a screwdriver may be used to split the legs into subsets. When splitting the legs, do not make more than two subsets per leg.

For hardware and hardware dimensions to be used in conjunction with Distribution Preformed Dead Ends.

Identification Tape: Shows catalog number, nominal sizes.

Short Leg and Long Leg: Identifies rods belonging to each leg, after application. During application, the short leg should be applied first.

Material Selection: Distribution Preformed Dead Ends are made from material which is compatible with the strand they are designed to be used with except where noted otherwise.

This product is intended for a single (one-time) use and for the specified application although it may be reapplied twice for re-tensioning within 90 days of initial installation. CAUTION: DO NOT MODIFY OR REUSE THIS PRODUCT AFTER 90 DAYS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Distribution Preformed Dead Ends should not be used on hardware which allows the strand to rotate or spin about its axis uncontrolled. Adjustable hardware, such as a turnbuckle, may be used as long as rotational movement of the strand is restricted. Consult EMAAR for additional information concerning adjust- able hardware that can be used with Distribution Preformed Dead Ends. 

Hardware used in conjunction with Distribution Preformed Dead Ends should have smooth contours, ample groove clearances, acceptable diameters and sufficient strength to minimize abrasion and fatigue of the loop area.
