To mitigate conductor sag

The ACCR core is actually a fiber reinforced aluminum, so its electrical resistance (and efficiency) is greatly improved
over conventional steel core that offers very poor conductivity.
The CTC Global product “ACCC® ” (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) uses a non-conductive carbon and glass
fiber core. Because CTC Global’s ACCC® core is so much lighter than steel, the design incorporates an additional 28
percent more aluminum without a weight or diameter penalty. The added aluminum content (and improved quality)
serves to lower electrical resistance and therefore effectively reduces line losses by 25 to 40 percent or more
compared to steel reinforced alternatives.

Leveraging high performance conductors like CTC Global’s
ACCC® has become particularly important today.

They not only serve to improve efficiency and reliability; they also allow us to increase the capacity of existing
transmission lines so we can access cleaner sources of generation. The global warming – climate change
discussion, Clean Power Plan mandate (currently pending further review) and other State initiatives are pushing
this need now more than ever.
