APPLICATION:
ACSR Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced wire is used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding for desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.

CONDUCTOR:
Aluminum alloy 1350-H119 wires, concentrically stranded around a steel core available with Class A, B or C galvanizing; aluminum coated (AZ); or aluminum-clad steel core (AL). Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or infusion of the complete cable with grease.

CONDUCTOR STRANDING (Aluminum/Steel):
54/19

ALUMINUM DIAMETER:
0.1716 In.

STEEL DIAMETER:
0.1030 In.

STEEL CORE DIAMETER:
0.5150 In.

WEIGHT PER 1000 ft. (Aluminum/Steel/Total):
1507.0 lbs. / 537.0 lbs. / 2,044 lbs.

CONTENT % (Aluminum/Steel):
73.75 / 26.25

RATED BREAKING STRENGTH:
54,500 lbs.

RESISTANCE (Ohms/kft):
DC @ 20C – 0.0108
AC @ 75C – 0.014

AMP RATING:
1,359 Amps

All values are nominal and subject to correction. * Current ratings based on 75C conductor temperature, 25C ambient temperature, emissivity 0.5, 2ft/sec wind in sun. ** Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding, and metal conductivity of 61.2% IACS for EC (1350) and 8% IACS for steel. AC (60Hz) resistance includes current dependent hysteresis loss factor for 1 and 3 layer constructions.
