 ) and the ClampStar product line will offer a presentation on &quot;high temper
 ature&quot; applications of transmission line connectors\, which details the re
 ason that most compression connectors would not pass testing at 250C. This
  presentation lays out the reasons\, and a solution is offered\, allowing 
 utilities to rate exisiting ACSS lines at 250C using their shunts\, or rec
 onductor\, or build new lines using these connectors for use on ACSS\, for
  which there is really no solution today other than this.\n\nAll Southern 
 Company utilities have been using ClampStar for over 15 years\, both on la
 rge projects and also smaller maintenance applications. Georgia Power&#39;s fi
 rst major project covered all the splices on the Loopers Farm - Rome 230kV
 \, which was Condor SD conductor\, in December of 2010. The ClampStar unit
 s in the air today number in the hundreds of thousands. They have never ha
 d a failure.\n\nCarl will detail the hard science and engineering validati
 on behind the limits of legacy connectors\, specifically related to high t
 emperatures operations\, i.e.\, temperatures exceeding 93°C\, which exemp
 lify the reasons that legacy connectors are not capable of performing on c
 onductors which exceed temperatures much beyond 125°C. A solution will be
  presented\, accompanied by test data substantiating performance testing a
 t 335°C and 390°C conductor temperatures.\n\nSpeaker(s): Carl Tamm\, \n\
