All Aluminium Alloy Conductors

This section deals with heat-treatable magnesium silicon type aluminium alloys to BS EN 50182, the electrical and mechanical properties of which all fall within the values suggested by Publication 104 of the international Electro technical Commission. Conductors to all other recognized specifications can also be supplied. The alloys referred to have higher strength but lower conductivity than pure aluminium. Being lighter, alloy conductors can sometimes be used to advantage in place of the more conventional ACSR;
Having lower breaking loads than the latter, their use becomes particularly favorable when ice and win loadings are low.

1.Application
ACAR, characterized by light weight, is used for overhead trabsmission and distribution cable.

2.Construction
Aluminum wires are connectrically stranded about an aluminum alloy core.

3.Strandards
Aluminum conductor alloy reinforced meets or exceeds the following standards:
IEC 61089, ASTM B524, GB/T 1179-2008, DIN and BS standard.

Bare Conductor ACAR
ACAR
Aluminum Conductor. Aluminum Alloy Conductor Reinforced.

STANDARDS
ACAR bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM standards:
B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes.
B-398 Aluminum-Alloy 6201-T81 for Electrical Purposes.
B-524 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum Alloy Reinforced ACAR, 1350/6201.

CONSTRUCTION
Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded about an aluminum alloy 6201 core. Although the alloy strands generally comprise the core of the cable,

in some constructions they are distributed in layers throughout the aluminum alloy 1350-H19 strands.
