1.Describe
ACSR cable is composed by bare concentric-lay-stranded aluminium wires with a straight round central steel reinforced wire surrounded by one or more layers of helically layed aluminium wires.
2. Standard
ASTM B 231, BS 215-1, DIN48201, IEC 61089
3. Application:
(1)ACSR cable is used in ovedhead electric power transmission and distribution lines with various grade voltages. (2)Under the same weight, ACSR is with higher DC resistance and lower cost than copper conductor.
(3). Aluminium is light and easy to lay
4.Specification:
ACSR Moose conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes
B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded
B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
B-341 Aluminum-clad Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW)
B-498 Zinc-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AZ)
B-500 Zinc Coated and Aluminum Coated Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
Notes:
· Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of 61.2% IACS for EC (1350) and 8% IACS for steel. AC (60Hz) resistance includes current dependent hysteresis loss factor for 1 and 3 layer constructions.
· Current ratings are based on 75oC conductor temperature, 25oC ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft sun, 0.5 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.
