EPD: Aluminum conductor steel-supported (ACSS) bare overhead cable (Prysmian)

Product Name: TransPowr® ACSS Bare Overhead ConductorProduct Characteristic: 1350-O aluminum wires and regular-strength Class A zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy coated steel (/MA2) wires, concentrically strandedThe TransPowr® ACSS Bare Overhead Conductor offers better performance over ACSR when it operates at high temperatures without detriment to its mechanical properties and with significantly less sag, allowing for much higher ampacity ratings. ACSS can operate continuously at high temperatures up to 250˚C without damage, allowing for a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity. ACSS sags less under emergency electrical loadings than ACSR; ACSS is self-damping, and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of the aluminum. Standard ACSS designs are manufactured with 1350-O aluminum and regular-strength Class A zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy coated steel.This EPD includes results for the following products: PHEASANT/ACSS/MA3/E3X
