ACSR/AW - Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced/AW Core

Product Description
Concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round Aluminum Alloy 1350-H19 with an aluminum-clad steel core, either AW2 (normal strength) or AW3
(high strength).

Application
Primarily used as the phase conductor for overhead transmission and distribution. It is preferred over conventional ACSR because of its higher corrosion
resistance, lighter weight, longer service life, and reduced power loss.
