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.
