ACAR - Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced

 
 
 

Applications

Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. A good strength-to-weight ratio makes ACAR applicable where both ampacity and strength are prime considerations in line design. For equal weight ACAR offers higher strength and ampacity than ACSR.

 

Specifications

JSK's ACAR bare conductors can meet any International Standard including ASTM, BS, DIN, IEC, NFC etc

 

Construction

Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded about an aluminum alloy 6201 core. Although the alloy strands generally comprise the core of the cable, in some constructions they are distributed in layers throughout the aluminum (alloy) 1350 H19 strands.
