TransPowr® ACSS-AW Bare Overhead Conductor (US)
Product description
ACSS/AW is a composite concentric-lay-stranded cable. Aluminum-clad steel strands form the central core of the cable, around which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-O wires. ACSS/AW conductors are manufactured in accordance with the latest issue of ASTM B856. The “O” temper of the aluminum, a fully annealed or soft temper, causes most or all of the mechanical load of ACSS/AW to be carried by the steel. The aluminum-clad steel core may consist of 7, 19, 37 or more wires. Numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strand and layers are possible. The sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are those most frequently used for overhead lines.
