APPLICATION
ACS conductor is used as an overhead ground wire to protect power transmission lines from lightning damage.
Due to its excellent characteristics, this product is used extensively in the cable industry for the manufacturing of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) and steel reinforced cores for phases conductors,all to be used in overhead lines. Also, it can be used in alternative applications an helical hardware for overhead lines or those where the resistance to the corrosion is an important factor.
