ALUMINIUM CLAD STEEL WIRE (ACSW)
APPLICATION:
ACSW is commonly used as materials for bare overhead transmission and primary-secondary distribution cables. ACSW offers advantages such as simple structure, easy installation and maintenance, low cost, and high transmission capacity. It is also suitable for installation in river valleys and mountainous areas with unique geographical features. Additionally, the aluminum coating on the steel core wire provides slightly higher capacitance, corrosion resistance, high strength and lighting protection.
STANDARD:
IEC 61232; IEC 61089; EN 50540; GB/T 17937-2009
ACSW CONSTRUCTION:
ACSW is a type of electrical wire consisting of aluminum and steel wires twisted together in concentric layers. The core wire is made of steel, while the outer layer is made of aluminum. The steel core wire is typically composed of 3, 7, or 19 strands, depending on the specific application requirements. By varying the relative proportions of aluminum and steel, the ACSW can be tailored to meet the specific characteristics needed for different applications.
