CTC Global Expands Advanced Conductor Portfolio with ACCC® Plus Conductor

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CTC Global, the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of high-capacity Advanced Conductors, today announced the introduction of the ACCC® Plus Conductor, an enhanced addition to the ACCC® Conductor family.

Utilities are facing a new set of transmission planning challenges, as load growth, generation shifts, interconnection queues, permitting constraints, and evolving reliability requirements put increasing pressure on both existing and new transmission infrastructure. Utilities must quickly add capacity while managing project costs, clearance constraints, structure requirements, and long-term performance.

Built on highly proven ACCC® Conductor Technology, the ACCC® Plus Conductor is designed to deliver greater mechanical performance, improved efficiency, and enhanced sag performance, while offering greater design flexibility for demanding transmission line applications. The new conductor option features a higher-strength, higher-modulus core than standard ACCC® Conductor, supporting longer span lengths, improved clearance management, more efficient structure spacing, and optimized conductor and line designs.

Positioned between the standard ACCC® Conductor and ACCC® ULS Conductor, the ACCC® Plus Conductor is intended for projects where utilities may benefit from longer span lengths, improved clearance management, greater mechanical margins, and optimized new line designs.

"The ACCC® Plus Conductor expands the ACCC® Conductor family with a new performance option for utilities facing increasingly complex transmission and economic design requirements," said J.D. Sitton, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Global. "It gives engineers greater flexibility to optimize line design around strength, sag, span length, efficiency, and project economics."

The ACCC® Plus Conductor gives utilities a more advanced way to address demanding transmission line requirements while maintaining the proven reliability and operational advantages of ACCC® Conductor technology.
