If you are considering carbon fiber core conductors, please be advised that adherence to the established ASTM B-987 Standard & especially its requirement for a robust non-conductive galvanic barrier – can mean the difference between a conductor that lasts many decades in use or one that fails & falls prematurely.

CTC Global’s ACCC Conductor cores are currently available in 310 and 375 ksi tensile strengths. The higher strength version – referred to as ULS – also offers a higher modulus to accommodate longer spans and extreme ice loads.

The Importance of the ASTM B-987 Standard for Carbon Fiber Core Conductors

While newcomers to the world of carbon fiber composites may not fully understand this phenomenon, lessons have been learned the hard way in the aerospace and other industries. If you are considering carbon fiber core conductors, please be advised that adherence to the established ASTM B-987 Standard – and especially its requirement for a robust non-conductive galvanic barrier – can mean the difference between a conductor that lasts many decades in use or one that fails and falls prematurely.
