Enhanced is Not Advanced: Why ACCC® Conductors Outperform ACSS Conductors on Every Front | In the ongoing quest to address rising electricity demands and improve grid reliability, the ACCC® Conductor has emerged as a superior solution compared to ACSS (Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported) conductors. While ACSS conductors, introduced in the 1970s, were designed to operate at higher temperatures than their ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) predecessors, they have notable limitations in terms of strength and sag. Recent enhancements to ACSS conductors, including the use of ultra-high strength steel cores and improved coatings, fail to match the performance benefits of the ACCC® Conductor. | | |
|
Enhancing Electrical Infrastructure: The Crucial Role of Industry Standards for Advanced Conductors and Hardware | Adherence to industry standards established by organizations like ASTM, IEEE, ANSI, and IEC is essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical infrastructure. CTC Global actively participates as a contributor in the development and application of these standards, collaborating with industry partners to advance technologies such as the ACCC® Conductor. | | |
|
Reducing Capital Costs with ACCC® Conductors in New Transmission Line Construction | ACCC® Conductors reduce new transmission line construction costs by allowing for higher capacity and lower sag, which means fewer and less expensive towers are needed. Their efficiency leads to reduced electrical losses and faster installation, cutting both initial and long-term expenses. This solution also minimizes future upgrade needs, offering a cost-effective approach to transmission line construction. | | |
