Low Electrical Power Loss Type Conductor ae pale fit ow Loss type Aluminum (ThermalResistant Alur Nowadays climate change and global warming pose serious threats to our planet and to the quality of life of next generations. its imperative to limit the emission in the atmosphere of greenhouse gases (e.g. CO,, CH, N,0) by reducing fossil fuels power generation. Our Low Electrical Power Loss Type conductor (hereinafter called “Low Loss conductor") can reduce transmission losses by roughly 25%. Transmission lines adopting our Low Loss conductor can operate more officiently, reducing the need of electricity fram fossil power stations. These later can then reduce their energy generation and the related cost, as well as CO, emission. TCI has started to develop Low Loss conductor by collaborating with J-Power Systems Corporation of Japan since 2011. TCI has become the first cable manufacturer in Malaysia to have Low Loss Conductor fully type tested. Clear Advantages 1M Reduction of fine transmission losses in the range of 10 ~ 25% Almost the same tower loading 8s conventional ACSR (same diameter, same tonsil strength) jeter corrosion resistance than conventional ACSR due to Aluminum-Clad Steel (AS) core sme installation and maintenance procedure as conventional ACSA he higher current: capacity, thanks to TAL(*), allows an easy implementation of N-1 system protection Technical Construction The basic design concept of our Low Loss conductor is “keeping the same diameter and the same rated tensile strength as ACR, while simultaneously having a DC resistance lower than ACSR”. To have lawer DG resistance, cur Low Loss conductor ‘apply Trapazcidal shaped wires in its conductive layers, as well as Extre-high Strength AluminurClad Steel wire (14EAS) in the conductor core, Adoption of Trapezoidal shaped wires instead of Round wires: increase the AL srea while maintaining the total diemeter of conductor same as conventional ACSA. Adoption of 14EAS (tensile strength : 1770 MPa) instead of normal Galvanized Steel wires (1290-1340 MPa) decrease core area while maintaining its mechanical strength same as conventional ACSA.

Compression joints for LL conductors using TAL need larger ‘and longer aluminum body than those for conventional ACR in order to maintain the same current, density and to achieve better heat radiation. All other accessories are basically the same as accessories for corwentional ACSA.
