ACSS ACSS/AW ACSS/TW Conductor

Features

Reduced drag characteristics

Excellent self-damping properties

Improved current carrying capacity

Low wind and ice loading parameters

long term creep of aluminum doesnot affect final sag

Overview

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.

Data based on a nominal cable manufactured in accordance with ASTM B 857.
Resistance and ampacity based on an aluminum conductivity of 63% IACS at 20°C and a steel conductivity of 8% IACS at 20°C.
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.
Rated breaking strength for standard core based on Class A Galfan coated steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 802.
Rated strength for high strength core based on Class A Galfan coated high strength steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 803.
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.
