Armor Rods are recommended for the protection of conductors at the point of suspension, on alignment or with angles. They protect conductors for line angles up to 30°. Armor Rods fit tightly with the suspension clamps and prevent; bending of the conductors.

Damage of overhead conductors depends upon line design, exposure to wind flow, tension and vibration, which create mechanical strains through each strand.

Attachment and suspension points of heavy fittings are the first to be damaged because of mechanical strains concentration. The application of an armor rod should decrease the strains and slightly extend the life of the conductor, particularly where the conductor endures severe conditions.
