What are the typical uses for the conductor?
3M ACCR can be used any place standard conductor can. However, it is best suited for applications where thermal limits are an issue. Its thermal properties and strength-to-weight ratio can solve difficult siting challenges, including ampacity upgrades with clearance constraints, long spans or difficult terrain (rivers, canyons); extreme climatic conditions (corrosion or ice and wind loading); and environmentally or politically sensitive areas (wetlands, dense population). It is also used on new lines over spans where shorter or fewer towers are important for siting and permitting.
