Product Introduction

ACSS Conductor Cable: Structured Overview

1. Definition and Composition

ACSS (Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported) is a concentric stranded composite conductor, composed of:
- Core: Galvanized steel strand (Grade A) that carries most or all mechanical loads.
- Outer Layers: One or more layers of annealed 1350-0 aluminum, providing high conductivity.

2. Standards Compliance

ACSS conductor cables adhere to the following industry standards:

Standard Code
Q320623 AP 32
IEC 62219
ASTM B851
ASTM B857

3. Technical Characteristics

Key properties and advantages of ACSS cables:

  • High-Temperature Operation: Can operate continuously at temperatures up to 250°C without loss of strength.
  • Sag Performance: Exhibits lower sag under electrical loads compared to similar ACSR conductors.
  • Self-Damping Capability: If pre-stretched during installation, it can become self-damping.
  • Creep Resistance: Final sag is not subject to long-term creep conditions of aluminum.
  • Applications: Particularly useful in heavy conductivity applications requiring increased current, such as overhead transmission and distribution lines.

4. Notes and Specifications
