ACAR – Aluminum Conductor Alloy (6201) Reinforced


Product Description: 

This conductor is equal weight to ACSR, but offers superior strength and can transmit higher voltage.  The construction of the aluminum 1350 exterior, concentrically stranded around a high strength aluminum alloy core give this cables the desirable properties that many contractors seek in an overhead line.

 

Applications:

 This aluminum alloy conductor is used as a bare overhead transmitter as well as for primary and secondary distribution. The aluminum 1350 provides excellent resistance to corrosion to rain, snow, and even seawater.  The alloy core, which is composed of aluminum, magnesium, and silicon, offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while carrying the ability to handle very high voltages.  When weight, voltage, strength, and resistance to the elements are all a factor, ACAR is trusted as a well-balanced and efficient heavy-duty conductor.


Specifications:
