TS Conductor - Model AECC -Independent Testing Technology

500 thermo-mechanical cycles were successfully completed (report # 3002021585 for EPRI members), simulating years of thermal and mechanical stress. A more extensive 1500-cycle test is planned to begin in Q4 2024 when EPRI`s new testing facility becomes available.

Often called the "torture test", this series of tests subjected AECC to extreme stresses far beyond real-world conditions, including sheave passing, galloping, aeolian vibration, and tension cycling.

This comprehensive suite of 11 tests were performed in accordance with international standards (IEC, ASTM, ANSI) to evaluate the electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance of AECC.

Conducted by AFL in accordance with ANSI C119 standards, this test verified tensile strength and connector performance, ensuring AECC’s compatibility with industry-standard fittings and installation practices.
