What are Corona sockets and when are they required?

Corona sockets are aluminum, resin-filled, potted end terminations and are factory installed. Phillystran recommends these potted end terminations for all commercial AM, FM and TV projects. Designed to protect HPTG-I from RF burning, Corona sockets are the first level of protection for HPTG-I products, with additional levels of protection required for high powered broadcasting stations. Contact Phillystran for recommendations above 10 kw. See tables for Corona socket dimensions.

Phillystran pulling line speeds up Puerto Rico transmission line installation

Phillystran Ultra 12 Dyneema pulling line

When Hurricane Maria swept through Puerto Rico the results were devastating. In addition to the human tragedy, a large part of the country's power transmission infrastructure was destroyed. Restoring the critical electrical transmission and distribution system meant installing new lines in often inhospitable and humid conditions. When the electrical construction contractor in country ran into problems with their pulling lines, T&E Flow Services approached Houston-based, Precision Tension, to provide an alternative pulling rope solution, and quickly.
