Founded in 2002 as Composite Technology Corporation, CTC Global earned its way into the number one solution provider position of composite core conductors in the world.

The ACCC® Conductor’s composite core offers a strength to weight ratio approximately six times better than steel, with a coefficient of thermal expansion about ten times lower.

If you are considering carbon fiber core conductors, please be advised that adherence to the established ASTM B-987 Standard – and especially its requirement for a robust non-conductive galvanic barrier.

The composite core by CTC Global offers a very low coefficient of thermal expansion to mitigate conductor sag under heavy electrical load conditions.

Initially developed to increase the capacity of existing transmission and sub-transmission lines, the patented and trademark registered ACCC® Conductors were commercially deployed in 2005.

CTC Global’s ACCC Conductor cores are currently available in 310 and 375 ksi tensile strengths. The higher strength version – referred to as ULS – also offers a higher modulus to accommodate longer spans and extreme ice loads.

The ACCC Conductor’s lightweight composite core enables the use of nearly 30% more conductive aluminum which reduces electrical resistance and line losses by 25 to 40% or more.
