SONECABLE 1/0 ACSR RAVEN (6/1)

ACSR Bare Overhead Conductor. Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced Concentric-Lay-Stranded. ACSR conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength/ weight ratio. ACSR conductors combine the light weight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength and ruggedness of steel. In line design, this can provide higher tensions, less sag and longer span lengths than obtainable with most other types of overhead conductors. The steel strands are added as mechanical reinforcement. The cross-sections above illustrate some common stranding. ACSR is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. ACSR conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of ASTM B232. The steel strand or strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. The steel core may consist of a single strand or a concentric-stranded cable of 7, 19, 37 or more wires. Numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible. The sizes and stranding listed on the following pages are those most frequently used for overhead lines.
