Description: Similar to All Aluminum Conductor, this conductor is centered by a steel galvanized central core. The steel core can be varied to achieve the desired durability and conductor strength. The outer layers of this conductor are made of aluminum, providing a corrosion-resistant, long-lasting product. Application of grease to the core or to the entire cable can further improve the cable’s resistance to corrosion. Applications: Like AAC, ACSR is primarily used as an overhead transmission cable and can also be used for primary and secondary distribution. This conductor is typically preferred in a heavy construction area because of its reinforced steel core. Although it is heavier than AAC, it can be moved in and out of a construction area relatively easily. This cable is also useful in areas with high winds or frequent storms. Specifications: In accordance with specifications set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials: • This product is composed of a variety of aluminum conductors. B-230, 231, and 232. • Steel reinforced core is coated with B-341 aluminum, B-498 Zinc, and B-802 Zinc-5% Misch Metal alloy. Construction: • Conductor - ACSR is constructed with aluminum alloy 1350-H19 • Stranding - Wires are concentrically stranded. • Reinforcement - A core consisting of class A, B, or C galvanized steel lays in the center of the cable. Aluminum coating (AZ) or aluminum-clad (AW) options are available to enhance the core’s longevity.
