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 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 with grease.
