Independent testing.
TS Conductor’s AECC has undergone extensive independent testing to validate long-term performance, safety, and reliability.
-
EPRI Endurance Testing
500 thermo-mechanical cycles successfully completed (EPRI report #3002021585), simulating years of thermal and mechanical stress.
-
AEP Sequential Mechanical Testing
Often referred to as the “torture test,” this series subjected AECC to extreme conditions well beyond real-world operation, including sheave passing, galloping, aeolian vibration, and tension cycling.
-
Kinectrics Type Testing
A comprehensive suite of 11 tests conducted to IEC, ASTM, and ANSI standards evaluated AECC’s electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance.
-
AFL Hardware Testing
AFL testing to ANSI C119 standards validated tensile strength and connector performance, confirming full compatibility with standard fittings and installation methods.
