Bare ACAR

ACAR (Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced) is designed to support overhead distribution and transmission lines by combining robust mechanical construction with excellent electrical conductivity and environmental resistance. This makes ACAR conductors a reliable and effective solution for various electrical transmission and distribution needs. Our ACAR conductors are manufactured according to BS, ASTM, and IEC standards.

ACAR conductors feature a concentric-stranded design consisting of 1350 H-19 aluminum wires stranded over a core of 6201-T81 aluminum alloy wires. Some configurations incorporate intercalated layers of 6201 alloy and 1350 aluminum wires to enhance the conductor's performance and stability. This meticulous construction ensures optimal strength, longevity, and conductivity for overhead transmission applications.

Applications

● Overhead Transmission Lines: ACAR is widely used in high-voltage overhead transmission lines due to its strength and durability.

● Distribution Networks: It is suitable for medium and low-voltage distribution networks, efficiently delivering power from substations to end-users.

● Substation Connections: ACAR is ideal for connections within substations, where both strength and conductivity are critical.
