Popis: This paper describes the use of an internal elastic-spring insert in a tubular compression connector of the type used in the electrical utility industry, to maintain a large mechanical contact force with the conductor. The paper reports results of preliminary thermal cycling tests on a compression connector attached to a Drake ACSR conductor and adapted with a simple internal elastic-energy storing device.
