ACCC® Conductor Update from CTC Global Corporation www.ctcglobal.com May 2021
ACCC® News Since January 1st of this year, 31 ACCC® Conductor Projects have been completed, 59 are currently active and 63 additional ACCC® Conductor installations are scheduled to start within the next few months, in addition to over 900 completed. Why? Because the ACCC® Conductor offers the ability to improve the efficiency, capacity, reliability and resilience of the electric power grid, worldwide, while saving time, money and the environment. www.ctcglobal.com
ACCC® Conductoris Ideally Suited for Greenfield Projects www.ctcglobal.com Designed initially to decrease thermal sag and increase line capacity, which offers obvious benefits on reconductoring projects, the ACCC® Conductor is now being used for greenfield projects, worldwide. The benefits of ACCC® Conductor have been put to use on several ‘New Line’ projects. The ACCC® Conductor’s greater strength and reduced thermal sag has enabled further spans between fewer and/or shorter structures (in some cases with smaller foundations), to reduce overall project costs and construction timeframes. The ACCC Conductor’s higher capacity also allows the use of smaller conductor sizes which can further reduce upfront capital costs.
ACCC® Conductor Installation A good example of a New ACCC® Installation was the Pengerang Project in Johor, Malaysia. In this case, Trenergy selected the ACCC® Conductor as a 275 kV tie line for the new Petronas Generation plant in Kota Tinggi. The terrain was very marshy and included several saltwater crossings. The ACCC® Conductor’s superior performance helped reduce upfront capital and maintenance costs and offered added capacity for future plant expansion.

Cubico Upgrades Solem II Solar PV Tie Line with ACCC® Conductor Located in the State of Aguascalientes, Central Mexico, the Cubico Alten Solar PV facility is growing from 290 to 540 MW. To enable the added capacity to connect with CFE’s grid, Cubico replaced the existing 795 kcmil Drake size ACSR conductor with 812 kcmil Grosbeak size ACCC® Conductor. ACSS conductor was also considered but it did not meet the ampacity and sag requirements. With the support of Segal, Viakon, CTC Global and CFE, compliance with the Mexican Federal Electricity Agency, Centro Nacional de Control de Energía (CENACE) was achieved. CTC Global’s Master Installers Sergio Rojas and Ismael Dones provided installation support and PLP Mexico personnel offered hardware installation training. www.ctcglobal.com
