ACAR CONDUCTOR

Application

Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) cable has aluminum wires concentrically stranded around a Aluminum Alloy core.

Aluminum wire is 1350 H-19, the same material with AAC, ACSR outer layer conductor wires. Aluminum Alloy core is high strength Aluminum-Magnesium-Silicon 6201-T81 53%IACS Alloy.

ACAR has a lower maintenance revenue, using the same tower and pole as ACSR does. ACAR is excellent choice where lower price, higher DC current carrying capacity, longer operating time are desired in line design.

Construction

1350 H-19 wires concentrically stranded around a 6201-T81 aluminum alloy core.

Some designs have 1350 aluminum wires and 6201 alloy wires intercalated in the same layer.

Aluminum wire / Alloy Core Strands: 4/3, 15/4, 12/7, 33/4, 30/7, 24/13, 18/19, 54/7, 48/13, 42/19, 33/28, 72/19, 63/28, 54/37, 54/28, 63/37
