 CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its patented ACCC® conductors, which are “high efficiency conductors” for use in electrical transmission grid systems. ACCC® conductors demonstrate less electricity line losses when compared with conventional conductors, and when deployed in place of conventional conductors on existing systems. The higher efficiency of ACCC® conductors enables power generators to reduce the amount of power they must generate while still delivering the same power to the customers. They have also demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and operating expenses when substituted in grid systems for other conductors. ACCC® conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts, providing a ‘reserve electrical capacity’ by operating at higher temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC® conductors are an innovative, economical solution for reconductoring power lines, constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC® composite core is delivered to qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC® conductor production and resale into local markets.
