CTC Global Corporation services

ACCC Pre-Bid Service℠; This service, designed for delivery to prospective contractors, will present a short CTC and ACCC history and an overview of the product and its installation requirements and techniques for efficient and successful application. The presentation includes required equipment and methods, a conductor hardware section, and a formal question and answer process, the Pre-Bid Service is intended to assist the prospective bidder to prepare an accurate and competitive installation bid.

 In the world of commodity transmission conductors, conductor efficiency is generally not considered to be high on the priority list. Conductor selection is generally based on load considerations. But times are changing. Looking back a few years, consider the substantial investments that were made to improve the efficiency of generators to reduce fuel consumption and/or help improve the economic viability of competing generation technologies such as solar and wind. Improved transformer technologies, while slightly more expensive, were also easy to justify – as they offered reduced lifecycle costs and improved efficiency.

Concerns about climate change continue to shape corporate and regulatory policy. The use of high-capacity, high-efficiency ACCC conductors can help you cost-effectively achieve your organization’s emission reduction goals.

Put our smarts to work for you; We offer technical support to assist you with conductor selection, line optimization, and economic and environmental analysis. Our experience in deploying our conductor to nearly 600 installations worldwide has given us a tremendous database of information that we can draw from in projecting the needs, challenges, and solutions related to your project.

Building a successful solution from the ground up. The body of knowledge leading to good installation outcomes for ACCC® customers is captured and frequently updated in the ACCC® Installation Guidelines. The guidelines are organized into topical chapters, and are available for download here. A review of the guidelines will be helpful to all who are responsible for installation activities.

CTC Global’s ACCC conductor has a proven track record of resisting damage. Following Super Storms Katrina, Sandy, Haiyan and many others it has become readily apparent that climate change is causing the frequency and severity of weather related events to take increasingly heavier tolls on our power grids. A substantial effort has begun not only to harden the grid to make it more resistant to damage, but also to leverage modern technologies to make inevitable damage easier and faster to repair. Climate change has also increased fire hazards in certain areas. CTC Global’s ACCC® conductor has a proven track record of not only resisting damage from severe weather conditions, but also surviving when wood and metal structures were burned down or knocked to the ground.

Our engineering team helps utilities find solutions for their projects, address electrical and mechanical questions, perform conductor comparisons, and answer other questions that relate to ACCC® Conductors. CTC Global’s engineering team has decades of combined experience in the industry. We offer technical support to assist you with conductor selection, line optimization, and economic and environmental analysis. Our experience in supporting the selection of ACCC® Conductor for well over 1,250 projects in more than 60 countries has given us a tremendous database of information that we can draw from in projecting the needs, challenges, and solutions related to your project.
