Aluminum Conductor Steel-Supported Conductors for the Sustainable Growth of Power Line Capacity: A Review and Discussion

Industrial development and population growth have increased the need for higher-capacity power transmission lines. Aluminum conductor steel-supported (ACSS) conductors, a type of high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) conductor, are now widely used in new designs and reconductoring applications. ACSS condu...

Summary:Industrial development and population growth have increased the need for higher-capacity power transmission lines. Aluminum conductor steel-supported (ACSS) conductors, a type of high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) conductor, are now widely used in new designs and reconductoring applications. ACSS conductors are preferred over traditional aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR) conductors due to their high strength, low sag, and excellent thermal stability. These attributes have garnered significant interest from researchers, engineers, and manufacturers. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the structure, properties, testing methods, and environmental behavior of ACSS conductors.
