PLP Canada - THERMOLIGN®
/
Preformed Line Products' THERMOLIGN® group of products is a specialized line of hardware solutions engineered for high-temperature, low-sag (HTLS) conductors in transmission systems.
While the operating temperatures of conventional conductors are between 90-150°C, HTLS conductors can operate in the 150-250°C range. PLP’s THERMOLIGN® products are designed to withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 250°C, making them ideal for modern power grids that demand higher capacity and efficiency.

All THERMOLIGN® products by PLP feature a multi-layer design for maximum mechanical performance as well as maximum heat dissipation.
All THERMOLIGN® products by PLP are available with PARROT-BILL® Rod ends for EHV applications (345 kV and above).
THERMOLIGN® Suspension and Support products feature a design that ensures that minimal heat gets transferred to mating hardware and insulators.
THERMOLIGN® Suspension and Support products feature a cushioned insert that surrounds the conductor to provide superior protection against wind- and ice-induced dynamic forces.
THERMOLIGN® Dead-End and Splice products do not require compression press or dies, keeping installation time to minimal.
THERMOLIGN® Dead-End and Splice products hold 95% or more of the conductors rated breaking strength (RBS).
