ACSS/AW

Aluminium Conductor,Aluminium Clad Steel Supported 

 APPLICATIONS

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.

SPECIFICATIONS

Hntddl's ACSS/AW conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:

• B609     Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes.
• B502     Aluminum-Clad Steel Core Wire for Aluminum conductors, Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced.
• B856     Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated Steel Supported (ACSS).

The strandings available are identical to those listed in ASTM specification B232.

CONSTRUCTION

ACSS/AW 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 "0" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by an aluminum coating.
