ACSR Conductor:

ACSR is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. Galvanized steel strand or strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded one or more layers of EC Grade Aluminum wires. The steel core may consist of a single strand or a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19, 37, or more wires. Numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible.

Applications:

Conductor(AAC, AAAC and ACSR) have been widely used in power transmission lines with various voltage levels,because they have such good characteristics as simple structure,convenient installation and maintenance,low cost large transmission capacity.And they are also suitable for laying across rivers valleys and the places where special geographical features exist.

Material Standard:

1) The hard aluminum conductor used for AAC and ACSR conforms to the standard GB/T 17048-1997(equivalent to IEC 60889:1987).
2) The zinc coated steel wire used for ACSR conforms to IEC 60888:1987.
3) Production can be arranged according to customers requirements for material standard,etc.
