Pakistan Cables completes the
first-ever ACCC® Conductor
Installation in Pakistan
Pakistan Cables Limited has successfully completed the
installation of Pakistan’s first ever Aluminum Conductor
Composite Core ACCC® in the National Transmission
& Despatch Company’s (NTDC) system.
As a result, the capacity of the 220 kV
Double Circuit Transmission Line from Gatti
Substation to Nishatabad Substation has
been doubled by replacing the conventional
ACSR conductor with ACCC® conductor of
same diameter and lighter weight. This re-
conductoring project was completed without
any modifications to the existing towers and
structures. The project completion costed half
the amount and time that would have been
required to build another transmission line.
Anticipating the need of energy conservation and
efficiency in Pakistan’s power transmission &
distribution System, Pakistan Cables had launched
Aluminum Conductor Composite Core ACCC®. This
is a proven innovative technology worldwide with
over 50,000 KMs installed in 40 countries. Pakistan
Cables Limited has launched this product in
collaboration with CTC Global Inc., USA.
Pakistan Cables Limited with technical and design
support offered by its technical partners, CTC Global
Inc., completed the project on a turnkey basis. The
installation work was completed by M/s NETRACON
Technologies (Pvt.) Limited are under the technical
supervision of the CTC Global Certified Master
Installer.
With the successful implementation and operation
of the first HTLS re-conductoring project in Pakistan,
Pakistan Cables Limited is geared to pave way for
an efficient and cost effective solution addressing
various challenges confronted by the Transmission
& Distribution System and to transform the power
sector in Pakistan.
