TransPowr® ACSS Bare Overhead Conductor (Canada)
Product description
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded cable. ACSS conductors are manufactured in accordance with the latest issue of ASTM B856. The steel strands form the central core of the cable, around which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-O wires. The “O” temper of the aluminum, a fully annealed or soft temper, causes most or all of the mechanical load on ACSS to be carried by the steel. Standard ACSS designs are manufactured with regular-strength Class A zinc- 5% aluminum mischmetal alloy-coated steel core (/MA2). The steel core may consist of 7, 19, 37 or more wires.
