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.
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.

Assumptions: Ampacity is calculated based on, 45°C ambient temperature, 0.56 m/s wind velocity, 0.8 as coefficient of
solar absorption, 0.45 as coefficient of emissivity and 1045 W/sq.m coefficient for solar radiation, 0 m Elevation.
