Catalogue specification
The high steel fraction of the 30/7 construction gives Lynx a breaking load near 80 kN, suiting it to longer sub-transmission and transmission spans. The table below quotes the catalogue specification; for corrosive regions, consider the aluminium-clad-core build (ACSR/AW) as well.
