Bare Conductors
ACSR/AW Conductor
Aluminium 1350-H19 wires stranded around an aluminium-clad steel core, offering ACSR strength with slightly greater ampacity and improved corrosion resistance.
Construction
What it's built from
- Construction
- Aluminium 1350-H19 over aluminium-clad steel core
- Benefit
- Greater ampacity and corrosion resistance than ACSR
- Stranding
- 6/1 through 54/19 configurations
- Range
- 4 AWG to 1590 kcmil
