Application
ACAR concentric-lay-stranded conductors in single and multi-layer conductor designs to optimize the strength and the current carrying capacity for transmission and distribution projects for which AAC conductors do not provide the required strength and AAAC or ACSR conductors are either not required or suitable.
Construction
ACAR is a concentric-laystranded conductor made from round aluminum 1350-H19 (extra hard) wires and round aluminum 6201-T81 wires. ACAR conductors are available in single and multi-layer constructions. These choices provide the necessary strength and the current carrying capacity for given applications. For equal weight, ACAR conductors offer higher strength and ampacity than ACSR conductors.
ACAR Conductor Features
Conductor has no hysteresis losses
No electrochemical reaction
Lower power trans resistance
Standards
IEC61089 , ASTM B-524
