Best Practices for ACSS Conductors
1. Larger than 0.953" outside diameter (approximately
600 MCM) - Use the 1628-50 or 1628-40 series
Chicago Grips. The necessary grip size should be
determined based on the cable outside diameter.
For applications where the load is expected to exceed
10,000 lbs.
(4,536 kg), use two of the appropriate
grips in tandem to prevent cable deformation. See
instructions for using two grips in tandem on page 17.
2. Smaller than 0.953" outside diameter (approximately
600 MCM) - Use two of the appropriate 1656 series
Chicago Grips in tandem. The necessary grip size
should be determined based on the cable outside
diameter. See instructions for using two grips
in tandem on page 17.
