ACS Aluminum Clad Steel Wires

Construction:

Aluminum-clad steel wire, commonly abbreviated as AW or AS or AC, is an electrical conductor composed of an inner steel core and outer Aluminum cladding. Aluminum clad steel wire is a bimetallic in which aluminum covers on the steel core continuously and evenly.

Application:

The aluminum clad steel wire is widely used in long-span transmission line, coastal areas and island as well as other hot and humid regions, salt fog regions and heavily polluted regions where the high corrosion resistance strand is needed.

It is used as the core of ACSR/AW, overhead ground conductor, extra high voltage overhead conductor, optical fiber composite overhead ground line, self-damping conductor line, bare overhead conductor, OPGW, ground wire, messenger wire, guy wire formed wire for protecting, terminating and splicing transmission and distribution lines, fence, barber wire and hardware, etc.
