Aluminum Clad Steel (“ACS”) 

Aluminum Clad Steel (“ACS”) wire consists of a central steel core with a layer of high conductivity aluminum extruded over it. The aluminum layer forms a seamless metallurgical tie with the steel wire to guarantee permanent bonding during rewinding and stranding.

2,Product description

The aluminum layer thickness is at least 10% of the wire radius and approximately 25% of the cross-sectional area. Conductivity is proportional to the aluminum layer thickness. Conductivities ranging from 20% to 40% IACS are available.

Aluminum Clad Steel cable is well known for its combination of corrosion resistance, high strength and superior electrical conductivity. These properties make it an excellent choice either as overhead static wire (ground wire, “OPGW”) It can also be used as core in ACSR conductors.
