ACSR is a
concentrically
stranded conductor
composed of one or
more layers of
hard-drawn 1350H19
aluminum wire
stranded with a high
strength coated
steel core. The core
maybe single wire or
stranded depending
on the size.
The proportions of
aluminum and steel
can be varied to
obtain the relation
between
current-carrying
capacity and
mechanical strength
best suited to each
application.
Core wire for ACSR
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 complete cable
with grease. |
