AACSR is a
concentrically
stranded conductor
composed of one or
more layers of 6201
-T81 aluminum alloy
wire stranded with a
high-strength coated
steel core. The core
may be single wire
or stranded
depending on the
size.
The proportions of
aluminum alloy and
steel can be varied
to obtain the
relation between
current carrying
capacity and
mechanical strength
best suited to each
application.
Core wire for AACSR
is available with
Class A, B or
C-galvanized;
"aluminized" (AZ):
or aluminum clad (AW).
Additional corrosion
protection is
available through
the application of
grease to the core
or infusion of the
complete cable with
grease. |
