ACSS Aluminum Conductor

AAC

larger image 		Applications:
Used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. Designed to operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 200oC without loss of strength. It sags less under emergency electrical loadings than ASCR; it is self-damping if prestretched during installation, and the final sags are not affected by long term creep of aluminum. The advantages make ACSS 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.

Construction:
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the conductor with one or more layers of aluminum 1350-0 wire stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to the ")" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by galvanizing, aluminizing, or mischmetal alloy coating. Corrosion protection should be selected to suit the environment to which the conductor will be exposed. High strength steel core is also available.

Standards:
  • B609 Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes.
  • B341 Aluminum-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AZ).
  • B498 Zinc-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AZ)B500 Zinc-Coated (Galvanized), Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated and Aluminum-Coated (Aluminized) Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ASCR).
  • B606 High-Strength Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ASCR).
  • High-Strength Zinc 5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Conductors, Steel Reinforced.
  • The strandings available are identical to those listed in ASTM specification B232.
