High Voltage ACSR AW Bare Aluminium Conductor For Overhead Transmission

High-Voltage ACSR AW Bare Aluminum Conductor For Overhead Transmission

Introduction:

ACSR/AW bare aluminum conductor is an overhead wire composed of aluminum-clad steel wire as a reinforced core and twisted hard aluminum wire. Compared with ordinary steel-cored aluminum stranded wire, aluminum-clad steel-cored aluminum stranded wire has 5% lighter weight, increased current carrying capacity by 2 to 3%, reduced sag by 1 to 2%, and reduced power loss by 4 to 6%, and Good anti-corrosion performance, long service life, simple structure, convenient erection and maintenance, and large transmission capacity. It is widely used in transmission lines of various voltage levels and transmission lines requiring increased aluminum-to-steel cross-section ratios. It can also be used in transmission lines in coastal areas, salt-alkali beaches, and third and fourth-level industrial pollution areas.

Application:

Having the advantages of corrosion resistance, high electric conductivity, etc., the ACSR/AW is ideal for overhead power transmission lines. With huge market potential, it is used for high-voltage overhead transmission lines installed under highly corrosive environments, electric railways, and so on.

Standard:

ASTM B 549, etc.

ACSR / AW has the following advantages as compared to conventional ACSR

ACSR / AW is identical to conventional ACSR with the only difference in the core where AW (aluminum clad steel) wires are substituted for galvanized steel wires. In many instances when compared, it has better properties than the conventional conductor.

1. Reduced power loss

2. High corrosion resistance

3. Less weight

4. Higher weight to strength ratios
