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.
