The ACCC will be used for a new 400kv transmission line across a route length of 169-km on a Power Grid Company of Bangladesh project.
ACCC is also used for reconductoring on existing electric power transmission lines as it can carry twice as much current as a conventional aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) cable of the same size and weight.
Manish Agarwal, CEO, Solutions Business, Sterlite Power said: “This is the largest ever global order for High Performance Conductor (ACCC) in this region and we are happy to partner with GS S Korea in the execution of this prestigious project. Our order book for ACCC is full for the next 6 months and we further expect to double the volume by focussing on the SAARC countries.”
