Customer Challenge:
A power utility company in Southeast Asia needed to upgrade its aging transmission infrastructure to handle increased demand. The existing lines could not support higher loads due to sagging and overheating.

Uni-Cable Solution:
Uni-Cable proposed using ACSS/AW 54/19 cables for the project. These cables were chosen for their:
High thermal resistance, enabling continuous operation at 250°C.
High tensile strength to support long spans with minimal sag.
Corrosion resistance, ideal for the humid, tropical environment.

Implementation:
The cables were delivered within 8 weeks, customized to the customer’s specifications. The installation resulted in a 40% increase in power transmission capacity without replacing the existing infrastructure.

Uni-Cable’s Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported, Aluminum Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSS/AW) cables are designed for high-temperature, high-current transmission line applications. These conductors are ideal for upgrading power transmission lines where additional load capacity is required without replacing existing structures. With outstanding durability, high-temperature performance, and compliance with international standards, Uni-Cable’s ACSS/AW conductors are trusted worldwide.

Product Parameters
Conductors:
Aluminum Alloy Layer (1350-H19): High conductivity aluminum outer layers that carry the electrical load.
Aluminum-Clad Steel Core (AW): Steel wires coated with aluminum to prevent corrosion and provide mechanical strength.

Key Electrical and Mechanical Properties:
Rated Current Capacity: Designed for operation at higher temperatures (up to 250°C).
Tensile Strength: High mechanical strength ensures minimal sagging even at elevated temperatures.
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum cladding on the steel core enhances resistance to corrosion, making the cables ideal for coastal and industrial environments.

Sizes and Standards:
Available in standard sizes from ACSS/AW 26/7 to ACSS/AW 54/19 and customized sizes to meet specific project needs.
Conformance to ASTM B856 and IEC 61089 standards.

Cable Structure
Aluminum Layers: The outer layers consist of high-purity aluminum strands with high conductivity and excellent thermal performance.
Steel Core: The central steel core, aluminum-clad for anti-corrosion protection, provides tensile strength and mechanical support.
Layer Configuration: ACSS/AW cables are available in various configurations (e.g., 26/7 or 54/19), indicating the number of aluminum and steel strands. The specific configuration determines the cable’s mechanical and electrical properties.

Applications
Power Grid Upgrades: Used in reconductoring projects to increase the capacity of existing transmission lines without structural modifications.
Long-Span Transmission Lines: Ideal for spanning rivers, mountains, or other obstacles where low sag and high strength are essential.
High-Temperature Regions: Suitable for transmission lines in desert and tropical environments where high ambient temperatures are common.
Industrial and Coastal Areas: The corrosion-resistant design makes ACSS/AW conductors a reliable choice for locations with high pollution or salinity levels.

Production Standards
Uni-Cable’s ACSS/AW conductors comply with:
ASTM B856: For aluminum-clad steel reinforced conductors.
ISO 9001: Quality management certification for consistent production processes.
RoHS Compliance: Ensures environmentally friendly materials.
