What are the main benefits of using ADSS cables?
2025-08-07The unique design of ADSS cables provides several significant advantages:
-
Safety in High-Voltage Environments: Because the cable contains no metal, it is not susceptible to electrical induction or lightning strikes. This makes it ideal for installation on existing power lines and towers.
-
Cost-Effective and Efficient Installation: ADSS cables are "self-supporting," meaning they don't require a separate messenger wire or support cable. This simplifies and speeds up installation, reducing both time and labor costs. They can often be installed in a single pass.
-
High Strength and Durability: The cable's strength is derived from aramid yarns or other non-metallic strength members, allowing it to withstand its own weight over long spans and endure harsh weather conditions like strong winds and ice.
-
Reduced Load on Structures: The lightweight and small-diameter design of ADSS cables minimizes the additional load on utility poles and towers.
