High Strength Aluminium Conductor Cable ACAR Cable ASTM IEC DIN

ACAR conductor APPLICATION

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.

ACAR conductor STANDARD

ACAR Conductor (Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced) meets or exceeds the requirements of all international standards like ASTM, IEC, DIN, BS, AS,CSA, NFC, SS,etc. in addition, we also accept OEM service to meet your special request.

CONSTRUCTION

ACAR is a concentric-lay stranded conductor made from round aluminum 1350-H19 (extra Hard) wires and round aluminum 6201-T81 wires. ACAR conductors are available in single and multi-layer constructions. These choices provide the necessary strength and the current carrying capacity for given applications. For equal weight, ACAR conductors offer higher strength and ampacity than ACSR conductors.

Typically, 1350-H19 wires are stranded around a core of 6201- T81 wires. However, in some designs 1350-H19 and 6201-T81 wires are stranded in the same layer.

ACAR conductor FEATURES

The high strength to weight ratio provided by the 6201-T81 alloy makes ACAR conductors a preferred choice for transmission and distribution projects where:

Conductor with more strength than AAC is required;

Conductor with high current capability is preferred over ACSR or AAAC;

Conductor with lower weight than ACSR is desired;

Conductor with higher corrosion resistance than ACSR is essential.
