)– In another major advancement of conductor technology, CTC Global has launched the
ACCC InfoCore™ System. This system provides fast, accurate assurance that the
ACCC® Conductor has been installed properly.
The ACCC InfoCore™ System reduces real-world conductor installation risk experienced by
utilities, contractors and lineman across the globe. These dedicated professionals know
that even with the best tools, equipment and field conditions, accidents can happen. By
using a proprietary infrared light system, special fibers in the core, and a robust data-
capture methodology, the InfoCore System can confirm the post-stringing integrity of the
conductor in minutes. This capability is uniquely valuable to utilities and contractors
because of the added confidence it provides.
“CTC Global and its manufacturing partners have supported the installation of roughly
100,000 kilometers of ACCC Conductor at over 750 projects, for more than 250 utilities in
over 50 countries and in virtually every type of terrain and ecosystem imaginable. This
massive body of experience has taught us two things – First, ACCC Conductors are easy to
install with proper tools and use of simple handling guidelines. And second, the real world
is an unforgiving place for every engineered product and project,” said J.D. Sitton, CTC
Global’s CEO. He continued: “CTC Global’s utility customers asked for a fast, accurate and
simple-to-use method for confirming post-installation integrity of their ACCC Conductor
installations. The InfoCore System does this very effectively.”
Anne McDowell, VP, Commercial Operations for CTC added: “Our team worked closely with
CTC’s manufacturing partners and key utilities to develop, test and optimize the InfoCore
System.” She continued: “I am pleased to announce the first full-scale commercial
deployment of ACCC InfoCore Conductor for Elia, on the upgrade of a 66 kV line near Mons,
Belgium. The upgraded line serves an important new data center in the region. The
InfoCore System has exceeded all expectations
