ACSS Conductor with Ultra high Zn95Al5 stranded wire is the most popular high temperature low sag (HTLS) conductor in use today because of its versatility and strength. The multipurpose conductor is up to 21 percent stronger than standard ACSS, reducing sag while allowing for
additional line capacity. It has been proven in the field for capacity up to 95 percent higher than ACSR, lowering reconductoring costs.
Can be strung tighter to operate with more clearance at higher temperatures. It also allows for easy installation using existing rights of way, structures and methods.
Characteristics
Higher line capacity and lower reconductoring costs
Can be strung tighter with less sag, allowing for a 60 to 95% increase in current-carrying capacity.
Proven in the field for immediate and contingency capacity
Easy installation using the same products and accessories as ACSS.
Simple reconductoring using existing rights of way, no changes to structures and familiar methods.
Increased line design options due to superior strength and improved corrosion properties.
New lines: Reduce new line costs by saving on structure and foundation costs. Build for the future with higher system ratings while maintaining line clearances. Increase your line capacity with lower line losses and a lower cost premium.
Reconductoring: Double the capacity of existing ACSR lines. Can be strung tighter for more clearance at higher temperatures. It also allows for easy installation using existing rights of way, structures and methods
