CCS in power transmission: define the electrical duty

Original publication: · Reviewed:

A power project must distinguish load-carrying conductors, shield wires and grounding connections. Their duties differ. A mechanical advantage or conductivity label alone does not authorize replacing an existing conductor.

Review the application

A copper-equivalent label alone does not confirm fault-current performance, connection compatibility or suitability for the installation. The conductor and connections need a project-specific review.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Agree on the conductor drawing, electrical duty and acceptance basis.

Review sample dimensions, electrical and mechanical data, and connection compatibility.

Complete the project-required system evaluation before accepting a material change.
