All-Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR)

Why Choose Us?

The ACAR series combines high-strength 6201-T81 aluminium alloy strands with a corrosion-resistant structure, delivering superior mechanical and electrical performance for long-span, heavy-load overhead transmission.

Enhanced Strength

 Multi-strand 1350-alloy outer layers around a 6201-alloy core yield superior tensile capacity and low sag.

Optimized Conductivity

Strategic alloy ratios ensure low DC resistance across all sizes, minimizing line losses.

Corrosion Resistance

Aluminium alloy resists atmospheric corrosion for long-term reliability

Temperature Performance

Rated for 90 °C continuous and 250 °C short-circuit, ensuring safe operation.

Wide Size Range

 Available from 30 kcmil (“Akron”) up to 3,000 kcmil, with custom stranding options on request.

Consistent Quality

 Manufactured under stringent ISO-certified processes, each reel undergoes comprehensive mechanical and electrical testing.

Applications

  • Long-distance overhead transmission lines in utilities and grid expansions
  • Coastal and industrial zone networks demanding high corrosion resistance
  • Rural electrification projects with minimal maintenance requirements
  • Renewable energy evacuation from wind farms and solar parks
  • Retrofit upgrades on existing tower structures for increased capacity

Applicable Standards

  • IEC 61089 – Round wire concentric-lay overhead electrical conductors
  • ASTM B524 – Specification for aluminium-clad steel core (ACSR) conductors used in overhead power lines
  • BS EN 50183 – Aluminium alloy conductors for overhead lines
