Bare Overhead Conductors

Nexans is a diversified wire andcable manufacturer. Nexans hasbeen designing, manufacturing anddelivering cables to customers inNorth America since 1911. Majorutilities, distributors and contractorsrecognize Nexans as a quality

supplier and a technology leader.Substantial investment in research anddevelopment of product and processtechnologies continuously reinforcesour commitment to excellence.

Nexans offers a combination of sales,design, manufacturing and qualitycontrol which ensures that all relevantstandards of design and service aremet. With our multi-plant manufacturingbase, we are able to produce allstandard types and sizes of bareoverhead conductors, as well as a wide

range of non-standard conductors, forvirtually every application.

 Applications

The bare overhead conductorsdescribed in this brochure are suitablefor installation in all practical spans ontransmission towers, wood poles andother structures. Installations range fromlong-distance EHV transmission linesto sub-service spans at distribution orutilization voltages on private premises.

The choice of conductor size, typeand strength should take into accountfactors such as electrical load, voltageregulation, corona losses, ice andwind loading, extreme temperaturesand vibration. Nexans is preparedto assist in the evaluation of thesefactors as they relate to the design of atransmission or distribution line.

Specifications

Nexans’ bare overhead conductorsare designed, manufactured and

tested in accordance with the followingspecifications:

ASTM B 231 Standard Specificationfor Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum1350 Conductors

ASTM B 232 Standard Specificationfor Concentric-Lay-Stranded AluminumConductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced(ACSR)

Packaging is provided as perAluminum Association PackagingStandards for Aluminum Conductor andACSR, Sixth Edition

 AAC Bare OverheadConductor

Product ConstructionBare all aluminum conductors (AAC)are concentric-lay-stranded consistingof one or more layers of aluminumalloy 1350 wires wrapped helicallyaround a central wire. Each successivelayer has six wires more than theunderlying one. Increasing the numberof wires for any given cross-sectionalarea provides greater flexibility. Themost commonly used strandings consist

of 7, 19, 37, 61 and 91 wires.Class AA strandings are used for bareoverhead lines. The direction of layfor the outer layer is right-hand and isusually reversed in successive layers.The temper of the wires is full hard-drawn (H19).Class A strandings are used primarilyfor overhead conductors that are to becovered. They have greater flexibilitythan Class AA. The outermost layeris right-hand lay and the temper isnormally H19. Successive layers arereverse lay.

Features and BenefitsAAC conductors are the mosteconomical since their lighter weightmeans lower unit length costs, easierhandling during installation and the useof simpler fittings. They are inherentlycorrosion resistant due to theirhomogeneous construction.

ApplicationsStranded bare AAC conductors maybe used in overhead line installationswhere the design parameters do notrequire the higher tensile strength ortemperature ratings provided by ACSR,ACCR or other types of conductors.

 ACSR Bare OverheadConductor

Product ConstructionACSR is a composite concentric-laystranded conductor consisting ofa central steel core around whichare stranded one or more layers ofaluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires.The steel core may consist of a singlewire, 7, 19, 37 or more concentricallystranded wires. They are normallyprotected against corrosion by theapplication of zinc coating. Thestandard Class A coating is usuallyadequate for ordinary environments.Heavier Class B or C coatings maybe specified for greater protection. Aspecial high-strength steel core with aClass A coating is also available.There are numerous combinationsof aluminum and steel wires andlayers that are available. The sizesand strandings most frequently usedfor overhead lines are listed on thefollowing pages.

Features and BenefitsACSR conductors have a longservice record due to their economy,dependability and favourable strengthto weight ratio. Such conductorscombine the lightweight and highconductivity of the aluminum wires withthe tensile strength and ruggedness

of the steel core. For overhead linedesign, this enables higher tensions tobe used with less conductor sag andlonger spans than would be possiblewith most other types of conductors.

ApplicationsAluminum conductors, steel reinforced(ACSR) are widely used for overheadtransmission and distribution lines.

 ACSR-II OverheadConductors

ACSR-II Overhead Conductors aremanufactured from two standard ACSRconductors which are twisted togetherwith a very long lay (8-10 feet). Thissimple cable design is very effective inreducing ice loading and wind-inducedconductor motion, and the costlydamage that these can cause.

AAC (all aluminum conductor) andAAAC (all aluminum alloy conductor)are also available in the twistedconfiguration, and are identified asAAC-II and AAAC-II respectively.

 Wind-Induced ConductorMotion

Aeolian VibrationSteady, low speed wind loading canimpart vertical motion to a standardoverhead conductor. At resonantfrequencies, the amplitude of thismotion (aeolian vibration) is sufficientto cause fatigue damage to theconductor strands, and can reduce thelife expectancy of the conductor.

ACSR-II conductor reduces aeolianvibration to harmless levels through twomechanisms:

  1) Prevention of resonant vibrations  2) Conversion of vertical motion torotational motion.

The twisted configuration of ACSR-IIresults in a constantly changing profilealong its length. Consequently, thewind-force applied to the conductor isdifferent at each point along its length.This variation in wind force effectivelyprevents resonant vibration andreduces vertical conductor motion.

A further reduction is achieved as

a result of the ease of rotation of atwisted assembly compared to a single

conductor. Since a cabled conductoris much easier to rotate than a singleconductor, much of the wind’s energyis dissipated through harmless rotationof an ACSR-II conductor rather thanimparting damaging aeolian vibration.

Conductor GallopingThe combination of an eccentric icecoating and high wind-loading cancreate a situation where a standardoverhead conductor is subjected towind-induced lift. Vertical motion ofseveral feet can result as the ice-coatedconductor, behaving like an airfoil, islifted and then dropped by the wind.Severe damage to the conductor andaccessories can result as this cyclerepeats itself.

However, the twisted configuration of

the ACSR-II design changes the angleof wind attack along the cable’s lengthand prevents the formation of an iceairfoil. This effectively eliminates one ofthe key causes of conductor galloping.

Sub-Conductor OscillationWind speeds in excess of 20 mph cancause damaging wake-induced motionof bundled conductors in amplitudes ofup to 5 feet.

However, it is known that if one of theconductors in a bundled system is a

different diameter than the other, thelikelihood of resonant vibrations beingcreated is greatly reduced. Whentwo ACSR-II conductors are used in abundled configuration, it is very likelythat at any point along the length of thebundle the apparent diameter of oneACSR-II conductor will be different fromthat of the other.

In addition, wind vortices formed in astandard bundled system cause verticalforces and vertical conductor motion.As stated previously, an ACSR-IIconductor will convert these verticalforces into rotational motion.

Operating Temperatures

Compared to a standard ACSRconductor of equivalent cross-sectionalarea, ACSR-II conductor has a largersurface area. This allows for greaterheat dissipation, and means that for

a given current, ACSR-II conductorwill operate at a lower temperature.Similarly, ACSR-II conductor has agreater ampacity than the equivalentsingle ACSR conductor.

Cost Savings

The unique physical properties ofACSR-II conductors can result in realsavings in the cost of a T & D system.— Fatigue damage to conductorstrands is reduced, thus enhancing life-expectancy and delaying replacement.— Accessories (i.e. vibration dampers,armor rods, and anti-galloping devices)normally used with standard conductorsto reduce conductor motion can beeliminated.— The higher installation tensionpermitted with ACSR-II conductor resultsin reduced structure costs through fewerand smaller structures.— Lower operating temperature andresistance is obtained.— Higher load capacity is achieved.
