HiTempEC Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported ACSS Round/ Trapezoidal ACSS/TW

 Although similar to conventional ACSR cable, Alcan Cable’s Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported (ACSS) cable features HiTemp EC conductors that provide distinct advantages for certain transmission line applications, including the ability to operate continuously at temperatures up to 250°C with appropriate steel core coating (vs. 100°C for standard ACSR). This cable delivers substantially higher current carrying capacity than same-sized ACSR, and reduces sag allowing for lower transmission tower height. This cable is used in overhead distribution and transmission line applications.

 

Features

  • Concentrically stranded conductor consisting of one or more layers of aluminum alloy 1350-0 temper wires around a stranded steel core
