🔍 What is ACAR Conductor?

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.

✅ Key Features of ACAR Cable

  • ⚡ High Conductivity – EC Grade aluminum strands ensure excellent current flow

  • 🛠 Superior Mechanical Strength – Stronger than AAAC, suitable for long-span installations

  • 🌧 Corrosion Resistant – Ideal for coastal, industrial, and chemically exposed areas

  • 💨 Wind & Ice Load Resistant – Strong enough for challenging weather conditions

  • 🔄 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
