EPD: Trapezoidal aluminum conductors steel-supported (ACSS/TW) bare overhead cable (Prysmian)

Product Name: TransPowr® ACSS/TW Bare Overhead ConductorProduct Characteristic: 1350-O aluminum wires, concentrically strandedThe TransPowr® ACSS/TW Bare Overhead Conductor is a trapezoidal aluminum conductor steel-supported concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape. The wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable a more compact alignment of the aluminum wires. TransPowr ACSS/TW conductors are similar to conventional ACSR/TW conductors but have some very important additional advantages. ACSS/TW conductors can operate continuously at high temperatures (up to 250°C) without damage. ACSS sags less than ACSR/TW under emergency electrical loadings, it has self-damping properties, and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of the aluminum.This EPD includes results for the following products: CUMBERLAND/ACSS/TW/MA3/E3X
