Used with AAC and AAAC conductors, the conductor splice will hold a
minimum of 90% of the conductor's rated breaking strength, although most
splices will hold 100%. Contact PLP for ratings of specific conductor splices.
The conductor splices listed below for ACSR conductors will hold 100% of
the conductor's rated breaking strength.
