Applications
Bare ACSR conductors are intended for use as overhead transmission, primary or secondary distribution conductor. The steel wire core and the outer aluminum wires provide an optimal balance between conductor strength and current carrying capacity, allowing for greater conductor currents at longer spans between supports. This conductor is often used as the messenger for multi conductor neutral supported conductor designs
Construction
Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires concentrically stranded over a steel wire core. The steel wire core is Class A Zinc coated (Code GA2).
