Increase in demand for electricity is a big issue of the day
in many countries.
Very high cost to install new power lines
Too difficult to acquire tower sites
and right-of-way
Not enough time to built new lines
Popular feeling against construction of
high voltage overhead lines
in urban and suburban areas

STACIR Conductor has more than double ampacity of conventional ACSR
STACIR Conductor has equivalent sag-tension properties to conventional ACSR
Conventional fittings and accessories for ACSR can be used
for STACIR Conductor except compression fittings
Same installation method as conventional ACSR is applied for Invar Conductor
STACIR Conductor has high long-term reliability with strong track record
Double ampacity uprating with STACIR Conductor
on the existing towers
Most power utilities do use STACIR Conductor for their uprating project !
