The following links will let you browse our web site for conductors based on manufacturer, type, name, and/or size. When possible we have included both linear and nonlinear cable models for your use as appropriate. The use of a linear cable model may be acceptable for calculating loads and sags in an as-built situation such as joint use applications, or when linear elastic behavior and nominal creep are desired. The use of nonlinear cable files is highly recommended for transmission and distribution line designs where creep and after load effects are important.
All of the cable models that Power Line Systems has are posted on this site. If you do not find the cable you are looking for then you can contact the manufacturer and ask them for a cable file or create your own as described in section 9.2 of the PLS-CADD manual. The procedure for Creating T2 Conductors is available online.
Once you find the conductor you want simply click on it to copy it to your computer. As an alternative to browsing and downloading the conductors one at a time, you may download an entire library by clicking on the library_name.zip file.
| Browse | Library Download | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Generic Nonlinear(preferred) | generic_nonlinear.zip | These cables files were developed using published data from publicly available sources. |
| Generic Linear | generic_linear.zip | These cables files were developed using published data from publicly available sources. |
| Southwire | southwire.zip | ACSS, ACSS AW, ACSS TW and ACSS TW-HS Conductor files developed in cooperation with and using data supplied by Southwire. |
| Composite Technology Corporation | ctc_accc.zip | ACCC conductor files supplied by Composite Technology Corporation. The files have recently (1Q2007) been updated by CTC and now represent the conductors well. Contact CTC for details or read the CTC ACCC technical note which describes the generation of the conductor models and how to understand and make proper use of the ACCC/TW conductors. |
| J-Power Systems | j-power.zip | Gap type conductor files supplied by J-Power Systems. Revised 05/17/2005: Contact J-Power Systems for details.
Note: Gap conductors require PLS-CADD version 7.30 or newer Note: In Sections/Modify be sure to sag Gap conductor using the initial temperature and tension at which it will be strung (unlike other conductors it is very important that the sagging data here be the same as the conditions under which it is strung as this affects the knee point temperature at which the core carries all the load). Note: The manufacturer recommends you not allow aluminum in compression in Criteria/Bimetallic Cable Model in PLS-CADD with these conductors. |
| J-Power Systems | j-power_invar.zip | Invar high temperature low sag conductor files supplied by J-Power Systems.
Note: The manufacturer recommends you not allow aluminum in compression in Criteria/Bimetallic Cable Model in PLS-CADD with these conductors. |
| J-Power Systems | j-power_long_span.zip | Long span crossing conductor files supplied by J-Power Systems. |
| Brugg Cables | brugg.zip | OPGW wire files supplied by Brugg Cables. |
| 3M | 3M™ Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced (ACCR) PLS-CADD cable files. | |
| AFL Telecommunications | afl.zip | OPGW wire files supplied by AFL Telecommunications. |
