CONSTRUCTION
The center is a carbon fiber and glass fiber composite core, the outer layer is fully annealed aluminum and trapezoidal in shape (1350-O)
CHARACTERISTICS
Allow Continuously operation temperature up to 180oC. The maximum emergency temperature of 200°C (10.000 hours)
APPLICATION:
ACCC® conductors are used for overhead distribution and transmission lines as they’re especially useful in reconductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances, new line applications where structures can be economized due to reduced conductor sag, new line applications requiring high emergency loadings, and lines where vibration due to wind is a problem, also they can be used at corrosive and coastal environments due to their good corrosion resistance.
