What are High-Temperature Low-Sag (HTLS) conductors, and why are they becoming a new standard?
2025-08-12High-Temperature Low-Sag (HTLS) conductors are a modern class of conductors designed to operate at higher temperatures without the significant sag of traditional conductors like ACSR. HTLS conductors utilize advanced core materials, such as carbon or glass fiber composites, that are lighter and have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. This allows them to carry more current (a higher ampacity) with less sag, enabling utilities to upgrade existing lines to higher capacities without needing to rebuild or replace towers. This advancement is crucial for modernizing the grid, improving efficiency, and reducing energy loss.
As a leading manufacturer, we provide a full range of tension stringing equipment specifically engineered to handle the unique mechanical properties of HTLS conductors, ensuring precise and safe installation.
