3373: Technology Watch on High Temperature, Low Sag Conductors for Transmission Lines
High Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) conductors present one of the most practical and economical solutions that have been considered by utilities to increase the power transfer capacity of transmission lines. This project was undertaken to provide details on various new HTLS conductors including ACSS, metal composite core conductor (such as ACCR), organic composite core conductors (including ACCC, HVCRC, Lo-Sag), gap-type conductors (including GTACSR, GZTACSR), and invar reinforced core conductors (e
