High Temperature Conductor (HTC) Matrix Calculator
The HTC Matrix Calculator is a web-based application that gives the user the ability to calculate the following:
-
Aluminum Annealing : calculates an estimate of the remaining strength of a conductor after exposure to extended periods of high temperature operations.
-
High Temperature Creep: determines the effect of specified high-temprature on creep and ultimately span sag.
-
Compression Conductor Calculations: calculate the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of a single-stage compression connector for Drake ACSR conductor after it has been exposed to the prescribed temperatures (above) for prescribed lengths of time (above).
