The present invention relates to an aluminum conductor composite core reinforced (ACCC) cable 300 and a method of manufacturing the same. The ACCC cable has a composite core 302, 304 surrounded by one or more aluminum conductor layers 306, 308. The composite core comprises at least one longitudinal continuous reinforcing fiber form in the thermosetting resin matrix, operating temperature capability in the range of approximately 90-230 ° C., at least 50% fiber volume ratio, tensile strength in the range of approximately 160-240 Ksi, Elastic modulus in the range of about 7-30 Msi, and thermal expansion coefficient in the range of about 0 to 6 × 10 −6 m / m / C. |
