ACSR/AW
Aluminum Conductor. Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced. Bare.
APPLICATIONS
Used as bare overhead transmission and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR/AW offers strength
characteristics similar to ACSR, along with slightly greater ampacity and resistance to corrosion due to aluminum-cladding of
the steel core wires.
SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire's ACSR/AW bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
• B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes.
• B-502 Aluminum-Clad Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced.
• B-549 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW).
CONSTRUCTION
Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded about an aluminum-clad steel core.
