Overview
ARP's flagship dead end suspension line covers 15kV through 69kV distribution classes with one-piece molded silicone rubber housings over boron-free E-Glass fiberglass rods. Standard 15-35kV units carry a 15,000 lb SML rating, while the ARP-46SKCE-SHP high-strength model is rated at 20,200 lb SML. Galvanized cast steel end fittings offer 20,000-30,000 lb tensile strength, and the line is ANSI, IEC and CEA compliant with RUS approval on 15-46kV ratings.
