STANDARDS
 
ACSR bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM standards:
 
l      B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes.
 
l      B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded.
 
l      B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, coated steel reinforced(ACSR)
 
l      B-341 Aluminum-Coated Steel, Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AZ)
 
l      B-498 Zinc-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced(ACSR)
 
l      B-802 Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel
 
Reinforced(ACSR)
 
 
 
CONSTRUCTION
 
Aluminum 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded around steel core. Core wire for ACSR is available with class A, B, or C galvanizing; "aluminized" aluminum coated (AZ); or aluminum - clad (AW). Additional
corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or infusion of the complete cable.
