ACSS ACSS/AW ACSS/TW Conductor Overhead Transmission Conductors
APPLICATIONS
ACSS & ACSS/AW is used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. It is designed to operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250°C without loss of strength; it sags less under emergency electrical loadings than ACSR/AW; it is self-damping if prestretched during installation; and its final sags are not affected by long term creep of aluminum. The advantages make ACSS/AW especially useful in reconductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances, new line applications where structures can be economized because of reduced conductor sag, new line applications requiring high emergency loadings, and lines where aeolian vibration is a problem.
ACSS/AW offers strength characteristics similar to ACSS, along with slightly greater ampacity and resistance to corrosion due to aluminum-cladding of the steel core wires
ACSS/TW is designed for overhead distribution and transmission lines. It is designed to operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250°C without loss of strength, it sags less under emergency electrical loadings than 0 ACSR/TW, excellent self-damping properties, and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of aluminum.
CONSTRUCTION
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the conductor with one or more layers of 63% minimum average conductivity aluminum 1350-0 wire stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to the "0" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by Galfan® , zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating. High strength steel core, aluminized, and aluminum clad steel core is also available. Corrosion protection should be selected to suit the environment to which the conductor will be exposed.
