Carbon Core Conductor Qualification Testing
Carbon Core Conductor Qualification Testing. EPRI has developed a short term test to evaluate the performance of carbon core Overhead Transmission conductors. Several carbon core conductors have been tested to determine their long term performance. A summary of the testing and results is provided by clicking on this link.
Reference Information
Advanced Conductor Experience
For the Advanced conductor Experience Report and Microsite: This report and associated website includes several advanced conductor utility use cases, providing the readers with a source of reference and insights into the rationale that justified the selection of a particular advanced conductor. The basis for the selection of an advanced conductor could vary from technical, economical, time restraint, and other merits.
Advanced Conductor Experience: Utility Applications
Advanced Conductor Specification Guide
For the specification guide: This report aims to provide utilities with information on developing a specification for procuring advanced conductors and connectors. The specification can be used to ensure that the conductors purchased are within standard specifications and help de-risk the use of the conductors by detailing the technical specifications (including the EPRI-developed test that the carbon core conductors need to be subjected to) that the conductors need to satisfy. The information in this report enables utilities to confidently specify and procure advanced conductors, which assists in de-risking the use of this technology.
