Value of Emission Reductions Increase Capacity without Compromise

The ACCC conductor offers industry-leading capacity and efficiency through any range of operating temperatures compared to any other conductor type of the same diameter and weight. The ACCC conductors high strength and low thermal sag provides planners and engineers an efficient means of increasing capacity - and improving efficiency and reliability - without compromising structural integrity or safe ground clearances.

Improve Reliability & Compliance

The ACCC conductors combination of superior strength, high capacity and low thermal sag make it uniquely suited for addressing issues of reliability and regulatory compliance providing utilities with an effective and economical solution for thermally constrained lines.

CTC Global Technical Support

CTC Globals support staff stands ready to provide project development, design, and installation assistance. The ACCC conductor can be analyzed using any commercially available line design program such as PLS CADD, Sag 10, or CTC Globals own Conductor Comparison & Line Optimization Program (CCP). Please contact support@ctcglobal.com

Assumptions: 100 km (62 mile) 230 kV line; Drake Equivalent Conductors; 53% Load Factor; 30 C Ambient; 2 fps Wind; .5 Emissivity; .5 Absorbtivity; $50/MWh; $1MM/MW; Coal Fired (2.19#/kWh); CO2 $25/MT

Maximize Efficiency and Returns

Increased capacity and a 30% to 40% reduction in line losses under any load condition improve financial returns year after year over the life of the asset. The ACCC conductor operates cooler than any other overhead conductor under any load condition, delivering more power more efficiently with greater pay back.
