Raven ACSR Conductor Cable
The ACSR Raven is an Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) mystical conductor, where 1350-H19 aluminium wires twirl like a spell around a galvanized steel core, enchanted by ASTM B232's magic. This raven-black titan rules overhead transmission and distribution lines, harnessing corrosion-resistant Class A or B galvanization and a harmonious aluminium-steel alchemy to shine at 75°C.

Product ASTM B232
Aluminum is widely used as a material for electrical conductors, primarily due to its excellent electrical properties. However, aluminum conductors for many transmission and distribution lines require extra mechanical support, often provided by galvanized steel wires in the cores of ACSR.
Aluminum is widely used as a material for electrical conductors, primarily due to its excellent electrical properties. However, aluminum conductors for many transmission and distribution lines require extra mechanical support, often provided by galvanized steel wires in the cores of ACSR.
Construction
ACSR consists of a concentrically stranded design, with one or more layers of hard-drawn 1350-H19 aluminum wire twisted around a galvanized steel wire core. The core may be a single wire or stranded, depending on its size, and the steel wire is corrosion-protected with either Class A or B galvanization. Tailored to the electrical and mechanical strength demands of transmission and distribution lines, ACSR enables optimal design by combining specific quantities of aluminum and galvanized steel wires.
Applications
Commonly employed as bare cable for overhead transmission lines, it also serves as primary and secondary bare cable in distribution lines.

Quality Control
Raven ACSR Conductor Cable
Raw Material Test
NPC has always chosen raw material suppliers who have a good reputation, possess stable supply capabilities and have passed international quality system certifications (such as ISO 9001). And establish a long-term cooperative relationship with it, forming a stable and reliable raw material supply chain.
We will ensure that all raw materials are subject to strict inspection procedures upon entry to the factory, and can only be stored in the warehouse after they have been confirmed to meet the standards.
Process inspection
NPC has strict quality control procedures for each process in the cable production process.
Process documents: Develop detailed process flow and operation instructions to clarify the operating specifications and quality standards of each process.
Equipment calibration: Regularly calibrate key equipment such as wire drawing machines, stranding machines, extruders, and diameter gauges to ensure that the accuracy meets the requirements.
First piece confirmation: Before each batch of production, the first piece is trial-produced to confirm that the process parameters, product dimensions, electrical performance, etc. meet the standards before mass production can be carried out.
Finished Product
Inspectors conduct ex-factory inspections on cables according to relevant standards and corresponding product inspection specifications to ensure that each ex-factory product complies with the process regulations.
Application
Commonly employed as bare cable for overhead transmission lines, it also serves as primary and secondary bare cable in distribution lines.
