Aluminium Conductor Steel Supported (ACSS)-ACCC®


ACSS conductor consists of fully annealed strands of aluminium around a stranded steel core. In appearance,
ACSS conductors are essentially identical to standard ACSR conductors. ACSS is typically available in “Standard
Round Strand” construction or “Trapezoidal Aluminium Wire” construction with equal area or equal diameter
to conventional round wire construction. The steel core may be of High Strength (HS), Extra High Strength
(EHS), Ultra High Strength (UHS) steel, mischmetal or aluminium Clad Steel core.

APPLICATION
Sterlite® Aluminium Conductor Steel Supported (ACSS)
ACSS conductors can be used as a low loss solution, as part of efficient transmission networks. These conductors are
suitable for lines that transmit very high or fluctuating loads.

Ideal for Reconductoring & New Lines.


• Increase capacity of lines while maintaining Electrical clearance.
• Can be Deployed in Existing Structures or can reduce strain on structures, increasing life.
• 100% more capacity building towards future demands.

BENEFITS
• Improved self-damping characteristics and high degree of resistance to vibration fatigue.
• Can operate continuously at high temperatures up to 250°C with appropriate steel core coating v/s 100°C for
standard ACSR, hence can carry twice as much current as ACSR conductor.
• Less susceptible to Aeolian vibration fatigue due to very low mechanical load on the annealed aluminium wire.
• Requires conventional installation techniques.
• Allows for lower overall transmission cost.
