CableTech

Construction:

  1. Core: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.
  2. Stranding:ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor.
  • The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to the "0" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum.
  • Zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating.
  • High strength steel core, aluminized, and aluminum clad steel core is also available.

Applications and Features:

Southwire's 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 ACSR/TW, excellent self-damping properties, and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of aluminum. Southwire's ACSS/TW is available in equal area and equal diameter design. The equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when compared with a standard ACSS conductor. The equal diameter design allows more ampacity in an equal diameter conductor when compared with a standard ACSS conductor. ACSS/TW also provides many design opportunities for new line construction: i.e., reduced tower cost, decreased sag, increased self-damping properties, increased operating temperature and improved corrosion resistance.

    2) Resistance and ampacity based on an aluminum conductivity of 63% IACS at 20°C and a steel conductivity of 8% IACS at 20°C.
    3) Ampacity based on referenced conductor temperature, 25°C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec wind, in sun, with an emmisivity of 0.5 and a coefficient of solar absorption of 0.5, at sea level.
    4) Rated breaking strength for standard core based on Class A Galfan coated steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 802.
    5) Rated strength for high strength core based on Class A Galfan coated high strength steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 803.
    6) The final design of a shaped wire compact conductor is contingent upon several factors such as: layer diameter, wire width and wire thickness. The actual configuration of a given size may vary between manufacturers. This may result in a slight variation in the number of wires, number of layers and dimensions of individual wires from that shown in the chart.
