weight and lower coefficient of thermal expansion allows the ACCC
conductor to carry twice the current compared to conventional steel
reinforced overhead conductors (power lines) with reduced thermal
sag, reduced line losses, and improved efficiency. It was
introduced in 2005 and has been used by over 150 utility and
industrial companies on over 450 projects world-wide.
