Description
Parameter

APPLICATION：
Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. A good strength-to-weight ratio makes ACAR applicable where both ampacity and strength are prime considerations in line design; for equal weight, ACAR offers higher strength and ampacity than ACSR.

SPECIFICATIONS:
ACAR bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
• B230 Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes.
• B398 Aluminum-Alloy 6201-T81 Wire for Electrical Purposes.
• B524 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Alloy Reinforced (ACAR, 1350/6201).

CONSTRUCTION：
Aluminum 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded around aluminum-alloy 6201-T81 core. Although the alloy strands generally comprise the core of the conductor, in some constructions they are distributed in layers throughout the aluminum 1350-H19 strands.

STANDARDS:
ASTM B524, IEC 61089
