ACSR bare conductors are widely used in overhead transmission lines and as primary and secondary distribution conductors. The design incorporates aluminum strands concentrically arranged around a steel core, providing optimal strength without compromising electrical conductivity. These conductors are ideal for applications requiring high mechanical durability and efficient power transmission.
The construction utilizes Aluminum 1350-H19 wires, which are known for their excellent electrical properties. The steel core is typically class A galvanized, offering corrosion resistance. For enhanced protection, options include zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating or grease infusion. The conductors are available in non-specular finishes and meet various international standards such as BS 215, ASTM B232, AS3607, IEC 61089, DIN 48204, NF G34-120, and UNE21018.
Parameters include nominal aluminum area, stranding structure, total sectional area, and overall diameter. Examples range from smaller sizes like Mole with 61.5 mm² aluminum area to larger ones like Finch with 642.9 mm². Each configuration is designed to meet specific strength and ampacity requirements for diverse electrical systems.
These bare conductors are supplied in rolls or wooden drums, with customization available for length and other specifications. They are rated for voltages from 0.6/1 kV up to 35 kV and operate at a maximum temperature of 70°C. The product is certified with ISO9001, CE, and CCC, ensuring reliability and safety in various industrial environments.
