AFL Substation Solutions
AFL offers a complete line of accessories with superior performance and reliability for electric power utilities and
rail transit systems. With more than 100 years of design and manufacturing expertise, AFL’s substation products
improve the performance of critical electrical and optical infrastructure used for the transmission and distribution
of electricity.
Made for voltages up to 765 kV applications, AFL’s substation accessories include grounding, cable, pipe, flat or
tubular bus and integral web connections. Our complete product offering is available for swage, bolted or welded
applications in bronze or aluminum materials as well as the tools and compounds required for installation.
Complementing the entire substation family, Swage360 grounding, bus and cable accessories allow electric
utilities to install accessories faster and more efficiently without the need for a certified welder.
AFL's complete line of Swage360 Compression Accessories also includes Tooling including hydraulic pumps, presses,
hoses, compounds and grease. Tooling is available for:
• Bus—1” through 6”
• Cable—336.4 MCM AAC/ACSR conductor through 3500 MCM AAC/ACSR conductor
• Grounding—#6 conductor up to 500 MCM conductor
Testing Lab Meets ANSI NEMA CC1 and ANSI C119 Standards
for Performance, Installation and Operation
AFL’s accessory products are manufactured in Duncan,
SC, in our facility that is certified to ISO 14001 and
ISO 9001:2015 standards. With 10,000 sq. ft. of open
testing space, our substation accessories are designed
and tested to meet ANSI NEMA CC1 and C119 standards
for performance, installation and operation. The test lab
allows AFL engineers to perform testing for strength,
vibration, fatigue, heat rise and current cycle.
Vital to new product development is our 3D printer which provides a cost-effective way for Engineering to develop
prototypes for fit checks and supply samples of new parts quickly. The 3D printer enables casting tools to be made
in days instead of weeks giving AFL an advantage over competitors.
AFL also provides Engineering support for all your substation needs including:
• Direct line to Engineering in the office for any technical inquiries +1 (800) 890-8878
• Custom parts for any voltage, welded, bolted, Swage360 or standard compression
• Ability to 3D print tooling for quick lead times and reduced cost
• Free on-site training regardless of type of power connector used
