ACSS/TW Aluminum Conductors Coated-Steel Supported

Application

ACSS/TW is used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. It is designed to function continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250°C without loss of strength. Under emergency electrical loading, ACSS/TW sags less than ACSR/TW, exhibits excellent self-damping properties, and its final sags are not influenced by the long-term creep of aluminium. Additionally, ACSS/TW offers numerous design opportunities for new line construction, including reduced tower costs, decreased sag, enhanced self-damping properties, increased operating temperatures, and improved corrosion resistance.

Description

ACSS/TW is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the conductor with layers of trapezoidal aluminum 1350-0 wires stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to the soft temper aluminum. aluminum clad steel core is also available.

FAQ

What are the weight limits for different types of packages?

What is the length tolerance for cables?

What is the minimum order quantity for the product?

What are the weight limits for different types of packages?

The weight limit for a wooden drum or steel wooden is 5,000 kg, and for a steel drum, it is 10,000 kg.

What is the length tolerance for cables?

The tolerance for the power cable is 0 to +0.5%. For the bare conductor, the tolerance is ±5%.

What is the minimum order quantity for the product?

The minimum order quantity for low and medium voltage cables is 200 meters, whereas for high voltage cables, it is 2000 meters. Should the order quantity fall below the MOQ, however, if the factory has stock, we can still supply it.
