Application
Full Tension Splices have been designed for jointing ACSR. Two types of Full Tension Splices are
available -
Type FTS - Multi Piece Construction - designed to hold both the inner steel core of the
conductor, as well as the outer layers. This is of particular importance on conductors with
greased cores. Filler rods may be needed on 30/7 type conductors to bridge the gap between
the inner core and the outer strands, for attachment of the outer splice layer.
Type MSS - Multi Strand Construction - designed for installations on 3/4 or 4/3 type
conductors. The fitting is comprised of a mixture of galvanised steel and aluminium strands,
which typically match the number and strength of those used in the conductor.
Rated Holding Strengths
On ACSR conductors, FTS and MSS fittings will hold a minimum of 90% of the ultimate tensile
strength of the conductor as required by Australian Standard AS1154.1 - 2004. Splices should not
be reapplied after original installation.
