SUMMARYApplying anticorrosion grease and aluminum-clad steel (AC) wires to ACSR have been adopted as general methods to protect overhead transmission line conductors and/or wires from corrosion. However, in some cases those means have been found to be ineffective on some transmission lines passing through acid atmosphere in the vicinity of a factory exhausting acid smoke. The corrosion caused by acid atmosphere is characterized by a higher speed in its progress as is well known.As means against such acid corrosion, application of high-purity aluminum, selective removal of intermetallic compound in aluminum, and plastic coating wires have been reported before, and each has both advantages and disadvantages. In a former report, we found that a new type of anticorrosion grease shows an excellent property against acid atmosphere as well as in a salty condition.Here we present a new type of anticorrosion technology of applying high-corrosion-resistance aluminum alloy or zinc coatings on each component wire of a conductor that we succeeded in developing through a serial study of anticorrosion methods on overhead transmission lines.

However, there are some cases that ineffectiveness of those means are reported on some transmission lines passing through acid atmosphere in the vicinity of a factory exhausting acid smoke. The feature of the corrosion caused by acid atmosphere is to show a higher speed in its progressing as well known.As means against such acid corrosion, application of high purity aluminum, selective removal of inter-metallic compound in aluminum and plastic coating wires has been reported before, and each has both of advantage and disadvantage actually. In the former letter, we reported the new type of anti-corrosion grease that shows an excellent property against acid atmosphere as well as in a salty circumstance.Here presents a new type of anti-corrosion technology of applying high corrosion resistance aluminum alloy or zinc coatings on each component wires of a conductor that we succeed in developing through a serial study of anti-corrosion methods on overhead transmission lines.
