Product Description
APPLICATIONS
ACSS is used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. It is designed to operate continuously at elevated temperatures
up to 250°C without loss of strength; it sags less than a comparable ACSR under electrical loadings; it is self-damping if
prestretched during installation; and its final sags are not affected by long term creep of aluminum. The advantages make
ACSS especially useful in reconductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances, new
line applications where structures can be economized because of reduced conductor sag, new line applications requiring high
emergency loadings, and lines where aeolian vibration is a problem.
SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire's ACSS conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
? B 500 Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.
? B609 Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes.
? B802 Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced
(ACSR).
? B803 High-Strength Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Use in Overhead Electrical
Conductors.
? B856 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated Steel Supported (ACSS).
? B958 Extra-High-Strength and Ultra-High-Strenght Class A Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core
Wire for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.
The strandings available are identical to those listed in ASTM specification B232.
CONSTRUCTION
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the conductor with two or more
layers of aluminum 1350-O wire stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor
due to the "O" temper (fully annealed or soft) aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by a zinc-5%
aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating. For aluminum-clad (AW) ACSS, please refer to the ACSS/AW catalog sheet. Corrosion
protection should be selected to suit the environment to which the conductor will be exposed.
