TOT Wire & Cable supplies high-performance ACAR conductors (Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced) designed for overhead power transmission and distribution. Combining the excellent conductivity of EC Grade Aluminium 1350 with the strength of a high-tensile aluminum alloy core, ACAR offers a perfect balance of electrical and mechanical performance — especially in areas where both strength and conductivity are critical.

ACAR is a concentric-lay stranded conductor composed of one or more outer layers of hard-drawn aluminum 1350 wires over a core of high-strength aluminum alloy wires (typically AlMgSi). This construction enhances tensile strength without compromising conductivity, making it suitable for long spans, high mechanical loads, and corrosive environments.
Lightweight & Flexible – Easier to install and maintain than steel-reinforced cables
Custom Stranding & Sizing – Available in various strand ratios for specific applications
Typical Applications of ACAR Conductor
Medium and high voltage overhead transmission lines
Long-span power distribution over rivers or valleys
Utility lines in coastal or corrosive zones
Substations and infrastructure requiring high-strength, low-weight cable
Upgrades to older ACSR or AAC lines where better performance is required
