Southwire recommends a minimum bullwheel bottom groove diameter of 35 times the conductor overall diameter. Southwire recommends never using a v-groove tensioner with ACSS. Southwire recommends a stringing sheave bottom groove diameter of 20 times the conductor overall diameter. For severe angle pulls, this diameter may need to be increased. For severe pulls or questions regarding the sizing of installation equipment, contact Southwire technical support.
