ACSR Conductor (ASTM-B 232)

1. Application:  Used as in all practical spans on wood poles, transmission towers, and other structures. Applications range from long, extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines to sub-service spans at distribution or utilization voltages on private premises.

2. Structure: Material:  A solid or concentric stranded central steel core is surrounded by one   or more layers of concentric stranded aluminum 1350. 

                     Direction of lay of the outer layer:  Right-hand.

                     Sizes: from 6AWG to 2500kcmil

3.  Standard: ASTM-B 232: Concentric Lay Aluminum Conductors.

                    ASTM-B 230:  Aluminum 1350–H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes;

                   ASTM B-498: Zinc Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for ACSR
