ACSR Cable Construction Chart
| Component |
Description |
| Conductor |
Hard-drawn 1350-H16 aluminum wires |
| Core |
Galvanized steel wire(s), single or stranded |
| Stranding |
Aluminum wires concentrically stranded around the steel core |
| Typical Ratio |
Aluminum : Steel cross-section ratio varies (e.g., 6/1, 18/1, 26/7, etc.) |
Example: ACSR “Drake” – 26/7 (26 aluminum strands around 7 steel strands).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between ACSR and AAAC?
A: ACSR includes a steel core for higher strength, while AAAC is all-aluminum alloy – better for corrosion resistance but lower in tensile strength.
Q: Can you supply greased ACSR for coastal areas?
A: Yes, we can apply anti-corrosion grease and PE wrapping for marine or humid environments.
Q: What’s your minimum order quantity?
A: MOQ depends on size, usually starts from 3 km. Contact us for details.
