Application

ACSR/AW (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced/Aluminum Wire) conductor is an overhead transmission conductor that combines the high strength of the steel core with the good conductivity of the aluminum wire. Its structure is usually a steel core covered with multiple strands of aluminum wire. The steel core improves the mechanical strength, and the aluminum wire is responsible for transmitting current.

Compared with traditional ACSR conductors, ACSR/AW uses high-quality aluminum wire, has better conductivity and corrosion resistance, and adapts to long-term operation requirements in harsh environments. Its high tensile strength makes it suitable for long-distance and large-span transmission lines, and can withstand the test of natural disasters such as wind pressure and ice and snow.

ACSR/AW conductors are widely used in overhead transmission lines with voltage levels of 110kV and above, and comply with international standards such as IEC, ASTM, and GB. Its light weight, high strength, and durability effectively reduce the maintenance cost and operation risk of transmission lines and extend the life of the lines.
