    More power, less disruption in Chongqing, Mumbai and Sao Paolo.

    Using aluminum composite for the conductor core of a power line means you can carry twice the electrical power at half the weight—without disrupting existing infrastructure.

    • ACCR Technology

      Turns out using aluminum composite for the conductor core of a power line means as much as twice the electrical power at less weight -- all without disrupting existing infrastructure. Installed in 17 countries, including China, India and Brazil, 3M™ Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced (ACCR) technology brings more power to more people. It's as strong as a traditional steel core, but lighter, and with less sag under high energy loads. It means existing power line infrastructure can carry increased loads, helping global communities to thrive.

      See how we help the world adapt as energy needs grow.
