Product Overview

APPLICATION

Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) can be used as bare overhead transmission conductor or primary or secondary distribution conductor. When higher capacity and strength for equal weight are prime line considerations, ACAR is the solution over ACSR due to its better strength-to-weight ratio.

APPLICABLE STANDARD

Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) can be supplied to meet various International Standards as follows : International Electrotechnical Commission International Standards-IEC 61089 American Standard-ASTM B 524
