Though carbon fiber composites do not plastically deform or yield like metal – and do have bending limitations – the ACCC® Conductor was designed to be tough and elastic to make installations easy and safe and have outstanding performance over the conductor’s anticipated service of 40+ years.
Part of the secret is the fact that the ACCC® Conductor’s carbon fiber core is surrounded by a robust layer of glass fibers that improve flexibility and toughness and also provides a robust galvanic barrier to ensure outstanding corrosion resistance. This is not simply a coating that could wear out due to vibration over time, its an integrated and proven solution that works in the most extreme environmental conditions.
