Description
Aluminium Armour Rods for AAC, AAAC, and ACSR Conductors
Indeed, the aluminium armour rods range from PLP protects AAC, AAAC and ACSR conductors at fittings, in six diameters from 14.00 to 24.79 mm.
Also, these rods sit under the conductor tie or clamp itself, so check the fitting position as well as the diameter. Consequently, confirming both details together avoids ordering the wrong diameter band. Particularly, on ACSR conductors, the armour rod protects the strands from localised wear at the support point.
Sizes in this range
Overall, this page offers six options, covering conductor diameters from 14.00 to 24.79 mm. However, each part covers its own defined diameter band, so confirm the conductor diameter and full part number before ordering. Additionally, the table below lists the store SKU next to each diameter band for quick reference.
| Store SKU | Conductor diameter (mm) | Colour code |
|---|---|---|
| PLPAAR-143 | 14.00 – 14.89 | Blue |
| PLPAAR-163 | 15.90 – 16.64 | Orange |
| PLPAAR-175 | 17.40 – 18.29 | Blue |
| PLPAAR-188 | 18.30 – 18.89 | Black |
| PLPAAR-210 | 20.90 – 21.79 | Red |
| PLPAAR-240 | 23.60 – 24.79 | Blue |
Generally, adjacent diameter bands sit close together, so a conductor near a boundary should be measured carefully before choosing between two options.
Applications
Overall, this range suits:
- AAC, AAAC and ACSR conductor protection at supports and fittings
- Reinforcing the conductor surface against abrasion and bird contact
- Reducing localised strand damage at armour rod positions
- Matching the colour code to the confirmed conductor diameter
Match the fitting to the conductor
First, confirm the conductor type, material and outside diameter. Then, check the individual fitting’s diameter band and colour code against the table above. Also, if you are replacing an existing fitting, provide its part number and the conductor details so our team can confirm the correct size. Finally, if the application involves a crossing, high tension or another specified condition, mention this when requesting selection help.
