Construction

ACSS cables are designed to improve the current carrying capacity of the line due to its improved conductivity, very low sag at high temperature, excellent immunity to vibration fatigue and better self-damping property, they are used in overhead lines for electric power transmission and distribution. In addition, they are an excellent alternative for transmission line repowering projects. 

ACSS cables are suitable for operating at high temperature without loosing the mechanical properties. Additionally they are suitable for corrosive environments due to the use of steel cores with 5% zinc-aluminum alloy coatings.

Note: Any other application or use not described above is considered prohibited.

Concentric conductor composed of aluminum wires 1350-H0, helically applied over ultra-high strength steel core coated with Class A zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy (Zn-5Al-MM).
