ACAR Bare Stranded Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced 4/0 246.9 250 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 Kcmil ASTM B524
Our ACAR (Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced) Bare Stranded Aluminum Conductor offers a premium solution for overhead power transmission and distribution applications. Engineered to meet ASTM B524 standards, this conductor combines high-purity 1350 aluminum strands with high-strength 6201 aluminum alloy reinforcement in a concentric stranding construction. Available in a comprehensive range of sizes from 4/0 AWG through 550 Kcmil , this all-aluminum conductor delivers an optimal balance of electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. The homogenous aluminum construction eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns associated with steel-reinforced alternatives, while providing excellent strength-to-weight characteristics ideal for long-span installations. Whether for utility transmission networks, industrial power feeds, or distribution system upgrades, this ACAR conductor ensures reliable performance with minimal maintenance.
