Product ASTM B232
Aluminum has become widely used in electrical conductors due to its superior electrical properties. However, for most long-span transmission lines, aluminum conductors require additional mechanical support—galvanized steel wires are commonly used as the core in ACSR conductors.

Construction
ACSR is a concentrically stranded conductor, featuring one or more layers of hard-drawn 1350-H19 aluminum wire stranded around a galvanized steel core. The core may be single-wire or multi-stranded depending on size, with the steel wire available in Class A or B galvanization for corrosion protection. Designed to meet the electrical and mechanical strength requirements of transmission and distribution lines, ACSR offers tailored configurations through optimized combinations of aluminum and galvanized steel wires.
Applications
Widely used as bare cable, it serves both overhead transmission lines and primary/secondary distribution lines.
