ACSS /AW ASTM- ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR STEEL SUPPORTED/AW CORE

Category: ACSS
Hits: 1506

ACSS /AW - ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR STEEL SUPPORTED/AW CORE

Produt Description

ACSS/AW is a composite concentric-Lay-stranded conductor. Aluminum-clad steel strands, either AW2 (normal strength)or AW3(high strength),from the central core of the conductor with one or more layers of aluminum 1350-0 wire stranded around it. The aluminum-clad steel core carries most or all of the  mechanical load of the conductor due to the "0" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum. The steel core wires are protected from corrosion by an aluminum coating.

Application

ACSS/AW is used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. it is desined to operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250̊ 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 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 the aluminum-cladding of the steel core wires.

ACSS-Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported

Product Description

ACSS is a concentric-lay stranded composite conductor made up of a core of galvanized steel strands and one or more layers of annealed or soft 1350-0 Aluminum. The steel core wire is Class A galvanized zinc-coated steel which, due to the annealed or soft temper Aluminum, carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor. Upon request the steel core is available in High strength.

Application

Aluminum conductor steel supported (ACSS) cable is used for overhead transmission lines. ACSS is designed to operate continuously at higher temperatures up to 250ᵒC without loss of strength, which allows for a significant increase in current carrying capacity over ACSR. ACSS is self-damping, sags less than ACSR under emergency electrical loadings, and its final sags are not affected by the long term creep of aluminum. These advantages make ACSS useful in new line applications where structures can be optimized due to the reduced conductor sag or where high emergency loads may be required; or in lines where Aeolian vibration is a problem. Existing lines can be re-conductored using ACSS to allow for increased current using the existing clearances and tensions.
