PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee EL-010, Overhead
Lines, to supersede AS 1154.3—1985.
This Standard is one of a two-part series covering insulator and conductor fittings for
overhead lines as follows:
Part 1: Performance, material, general requirements and dimensions, which combines the
former Part 1 and Part 2.
Part 3: Performance and general requirements for helical fittings (this Standard).
The nature of helical fittings is such that they may be used for applications other than those
for which they were specifically designed. In this Standard, only the primary function is
considered and tests appropriate to that function are stipulated.

The use of fittings for purposes other than those for which they were designed is a matter
for negotiation between the purchaser and supplier.
For the purpose of this Standard, helical fittings are separated into two main groups, those
for bare conductors and those for insulated conductors. Helical fittings for bare conductors
are further subdivided into three classes as follows:
(a) Fittings that act as anchors to attach conductors under tension to structures and
fittings used for joining two conductors that will be used under tension.
(b) Fittings that grip a conductor and resist longitudinal slip and attach the conductor to
an insulator set or other support device.
(c) Fittings intended to protect a conductor from the electrical and/or mechanical stresses
to which it may be subjected in service. This class also includes fittings intended for
the repair of damaged conductors, to restore full electrical and mechanical integrity.
