Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR)

Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) is formed by concentrically stranded wires of Aluminum 1350 on high strength Aluminum -Magnesium -Silicon(Al Mg Si) alloy core. The number of wires of Aluminum1350 & Al Mg Si alloy depends on the cable design. Though the general design comprises a stranded core of Al Mg Si alloy strand, in certain cable constructions , the wires of Al Mg Si alloy strands can be distributed in layers throughout the Aluminum 1350 strands.
The stranding consists of 7, 19, 37, 61 and 91 wires.

2,Product description

ACAR has got a better mechanical and electrical properties as compared to an equivalent ACSR, AAC or AAAC. A very good balance between the mechanical and electrical properties therefore makes ACAR the best choice where the ampacity, strength and light weight are the main consideration of the line design. These conductors are extensively used in overhead transmission and distribution lines
