ACSR vs ACSS: Strength and Temperature

The chapter delves into the differences between ACSR and ACSS conductors, highlighting that while ACSR is stronger and more conductive, it loses strength at high temperatures. ACSS, on the other hand, uses neode aluminum and stronger steel, allowing it to withstand higher temperatures without sacrificing electrical connectivity. The concept of high temperature low sag conductor is also discussed, noting that ACSS may not have the same low sag properties.
