ACSR/TW Conductor

Aluminum Conductor. Steel Reinforced. Trapezoidal Shaped Aluminum Strands.

Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductor, Steel-Reinforced

QZ Cable manufactures ACSR/TW with Galvanized steel ( in Class A, Class B & Class C), Zn-5Al mischmetal coated steel or Aluminum clad steel core

Overview

APPLICATIONS

Used for bare overhead transmission, and primary and secondary distribution. Two design offerings: Equal Area or Equal Diameter when compared to standard round ACSR. Equal area designs allow comparable ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when compared to a standard round ACSR. Equal diameter designs allow more ampacity and strength in an equal diameter conductor when compared to a standard round ACSR.


CONSTRUCTION:

Aluminum 1350-H19 trapezoidal-shaped wires, concentrically stranded about a steel core. Standard core wire coating for ACSR is Class A galvanized (GA2).

Also available in zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating or aluminum-clad (AW)

Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or complete conductor.

Also available in non-specular.


SPECIFICATIONS:

ASTM B230 Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes
