• Use: ACSS TW (Aluminum Conductor Steel Supported Trapezoidal Wire) is an overhead power transmission line conductor
• Design: ACSS/TW conductors, matching area or diameter to ACSS, are available for overhead lines
• Advantages: ACSS conductors, with zinc-coated steel wires, can operate up to 250C
• Current Capacity: ACSS conductors carry more current than ACSR due to higher conductivity of aluminum wires
• Temperature Resistance: ACSS conductors can withstand higher temperatures (250C) compared to ACSR (100C)
• Vibration Resistance: ACSS conductors resist aeolian vibration due to minimal mechanical load on annealed aluminum wires
• Long-term Stability: Creep is not a concern when designing with ACSS conductors
• Equal Area Design: ACSS/TW with equal area offers equal ampacity with a 10% smaller diameter
• Equal Diameter Design: ACSS/TW with equal diameter increases aluminum area by 20%-25%, reducing ac resistance by 15%-20% and boosting current capacity by 10%
