TransPowr® Compact (Smooth Body) ASC Bare Overhead Conductor (Canada)
Product description
Smooth Body bare all-aluminum 1350 (A1 or ASC) are compact concentric-lay-stranded conductors consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically around a straight round central wire. Smooth Body conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of CSA C49.5. A1 or ASC (Aluminum Stranded Conductor) are CSA reference terms. The Canadian constructions are similar in design (strand component size and configuration) to the ASTM B400 specification. Differences lie in the methods used to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance values. The commonly used strandings are 7, 18, and 19. The sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.
