Aluminum Conductor Steel-Supported Concentric-Lay-Stranded

Product Construction:
Complete Conductor:
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded
cable. The steel strands form the central core
of the cable around which is stranded one or 20/7 22/7 24/7 26/7 30/7 30/19
more layers of aluminum 1350-O wires. ACSS
conductors are manufactured in accordance
with the requirements of the latest applicable
issue of ASTM specification B856. The “O”
temper of the aluminum, a fully annealed or
soft temper, causes most or all of the 54/7 54/19 45/7 72/7 76/19 84/19
mechanical load on ACSS to be carried by the
steel. The steel core may consist of 7, 19, 37 or ACSS, CONCENTRIC-LAY-STRANDED
more wires. Class A zinc coating is usually SIZE STRANDING CROSS SECTION NOMINAL WEIGHT RATED RESISTANCE (3) PERCENT STANDARD PACKAGES (5)

Class A galvanized steel core (GA). See the OPTIONS: Bluebird/ACSS 2156.0 84x.1602 19x.0961 1.8310 1.6931 1.762 2507 2040 467 42100 0.0078 0.0088 0.0103 3185 81.37 18.63 RMT 96.60 18830 7500
section on page 81 to find the appropriate code word
modifier designation for alternative design options.
(2) Rated strengths shown are applicable to GA cores. Kiwi/ACSS 2167.0 72x.1735 7x.1157 1.7758 1.7022 1.735 2300 2051 249 29000 0.0078 0.0090 0.0104 3160 89.17 10.83 RMT 96.60 16120 7000
Alternate cores results in different strengths.
(3) Based on conductivity of 63.0% IACS @20°C for
aluminum and 8% IACS @20°C for steel core. Thrasher/ACSS 2312.0 76x.1744 19x.0814 1.9144 1.8155 1.802 2523 2188 335 35600 0.0073 0.0085 0.0098 3305 86.72 13.28 RMT 96.60 17690 7000
(4) Based on conductor temp. rise of 175°C over 25°C
ambient, 2 ft/sec crosswind, .5 coefficient of emissivity,
no sun, @ 60 Hz. Joree/ACSS 2515.0 76x.1819 19x.0849 2.0826 1.9750 1.880 2745 2380 365 38700 0.0067 0.0079 0.0092 3480 86.70 13.30 RMT 96.60 17325 6300
