ACSR/AS (AW) Wire

Posted on by ccadmin

Product Description

Concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round Aluminum 1350-H19 with an aluminum-clad steel core, either AW2 (normal strength) or AW3 (high strength).

Application

Primarily used as the phase conductor for overhead transmission and distribution. It is preferred over conventional ACSR because of its higher corrosion resistance, lighter weight, longer service life, and reduced power loss. The corrosion resistant aluminum-cladding of the steel core makes this product preferred in coastal environments or areas that are prone to pollution.

Specifications

ASTM B502 – Round, single end, Aluminum-clad Steel core wire used in the manufacture of AS/AC (AWAC) and ACSR/AS (AW) cables. Two tensile strengths available, AW2 (Normal Strength) and AW3 (High Strength); ASTM B230 – This specification covers aluminum 1350-H19 (extra hard) round wire for electrical purposes; ASTM B549 – This specification covers concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round aluminum 1350-H19 (extra hard) aluminum wires and round aluminum-clad steel core wires for use as overhead electrical conductors.

Type “MG Strands”
for Guy & Messenger Wire

Posted on by ccadmin

Product Description

Concentric-lay strand made up of Aluminum-clad Steel wires.

Application

Guy wire is used to add stability to utility poles. Messenger wire runs parallel to overhead cables and act as support for the cable especially in harsh conditions.

Specifications

ASTM B416 – Bare concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from bare, hard-drawn, round, Aluminum-clad Steel wires for general use of electrical purposes.

Stranded Overhead Shield Wire
(Ground Wire)

Posted on by ccadmin

Product Description

Concentric-lay-stranded conductors made of Aluminum-clad Steel wires.

Application

Commonly used for overhead shield wire in high corrosion areas such as industrial, seashore, and desert environments. Overhead shield wire provides lightning protection and distributed grounding important for safe operation of power lines. OPGW, of which has aluminum-clad steel as a component, is also used for overhead shield wire.
