Trapezoidal Shaped Aluminum Conductor,Steel Supported
ACSS/TW
APPLICATIONS
ACSS/TWisdesignedforoverheaddistributionandtransmissionlines. It is available in equal area and equal diameter
design. The equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when compared with a standard
ACSS conductor. The equal diameter design allowsmore ampacity in an equal diameter conductor when compared
with a standard ACSS conductor.ACSS/TW also provides many design opportunities for new line construction:
i.e., reduced tower cost, decreased sag, increased self- damping properties, increased operating temperature and
improved corrosion resistance.
SPECIFICATIONS
ACSS/TW conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
B 232  Aluminum Conductors,Concentric-Lay-Stranded,Coated Steel Reinforced(ACSR).
B 498  Zinc-Coated(Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
B 609  Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes.
B 857  Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Supported (ACSS/TW).
CONSTRUCTION
ACSS/TW is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the conductor with
one or more layers of around 63% average conductivity aluminum 1350-O wire stranded around it. The steel core
carries most or all of the mechanical load of  the conductor due to the fully annealed or soft aluminum wires.
High strength steel core, aluminized,and aluminum clad steel core is also available.
