TRI ACFR Information

With over a century of stranding experiences, Tokyo Rope International have developed uniquely stranded carbon fiber composite core for ACFR conductors. The objective was to develop a conductor that could be used to upgrade existing transmission corridors without structural modifications and be installed using conventional methods and equipment. This objective was achieved on the incorporation of sophisticated stranding technologies and modernized materials science: To create a higher-strength, flexible, lighter-weight, and structurally reliable tension bearing component for the conductor that could incorporate additional conductive aluminum without a weight or diameter or handling characteristic penalty.
