Questions & answers
Which conductors do you handle?
“ACSR, ACSS - ACCC (high temperature), AS, MCM copper, and ACAR.”
Do you manufacture assemblies?
“Yes. We deliver suspension, tension, blind dead-end and switching assemblies for 1 to 4 conductors per phase.”
Do you handle special requirements?
“Yes — contact us with your project details, indicating conductor and voltage level.”
What is an assembly and what is its advantage?
“An assembly is a complete set of fittings verified by the manufacturer and to CFE specification, installed as a single unit per the assembly data sheet. It reduces the risk of installation error.”
What is the difference between transmission, substation and distribution?
“Transmission moves large blocks of energy at high and extra-high voltage (69 to 400 KV) over towers and long lines. The substation transforms and switches that energy between voltage levels. Distribution delivers the already reduced energy (up to 35 KV) to consumption. Partalum manufactures connectors and fittings for all three stages.”
What is hot-dip galvanizing and why does it matter?
“It is a zinc coating applied by submerging the steel part in molten zinc. It forms a metallurgical layer that protects the fitting against corrosion for decades outdoors. That is why transmission and substation fittings are made of hot-dip galvanized forged steel.”
What do the voltage levels in KV mean?
“KV (kilovolt) indicates the voltage level of the line or substation. Partalum covers from 13.5 KV in distribution up to 400 KV in extra-high voltage. Higher KV requires greater insulation clearances and higher-strength fittings.”
What technical resources does Partalum offer?
“Partalum publishes four resources: PDF technical catalogs for the five product lines, an FAQ section with basic concepts, a materials and conformity page, and technical articles about connectors, fittings and assemblies for high voltage.”
Where do I find the standards and specifications?
“The Standards page (/normas/) has the CFE specifications, NMX-ANCE standards, the class 52.5 standard and the NEMA 2N–8N pattern, with its reference table and the mechanical strength range from 80 to 480 KN.”
How do I request a quote for a product?
“Go to the catalog or the category of the line, identify the product and request a quote at /quote/ indicating the conductor type, the voltage level in KV and the quantities.”
What voltage level do Partalum substation connectors cover?
“They cover substations of up to 400 KV, including the high-temperature ACSS line for runs of greater thermal capacity.”
What NEMA plate do the terminal lugs use?
“Compression-type terminal lugs are made with a NEMA bolt pattern in 2N to 8N, in straight and 90° versions, to connect conductor cable.”
Are there accessories for aluminum IPS tubular busbar?
“Yes. The line includes IPS tube accessories —coupling, elbow, reducer and cap— to assemble rigid aluminum busbar in a substation.”
