Summary
In the United States, ACSS conductor is considered by some to be an advanced conductor given its high operating temperature and increased ampacity compared to an equivalent sized ACSR.

Some conductor vendors have claimed that batch annealing ACSS is superior to bobbin annealing due to a reduction in sag under thermal loading and increased conductivity, among other features. This paper explores those claims by reviewing available industry data on stress-strain properties and conductivity from different vendors in various countries. The findings indicate that the annealing method alone may not be the most significant factor affecting sag-tension and conductor conductivity.
