AAC

All Aluminum, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors

Used as overhead electrical energy conductors to maximimize the current carrying capacity for transmission and distribution projects that don’t require the strength of ACSR type conductors. Also, AAC is a good choice for coastal areas where the environmental conditions are corrosive to ACSR conductors.

Direct current resistance is based on electrical resistivity of 16.946 Ω·cmil/ft at 20 °C (61.2% IACS) for 1350-H19 wires and 19.755 Ω·cmil/ft. at 20 °C (52.5% IACS) for 6201 wires.

ACSR

Aluminum Conductor, Steel Reinforced, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors

Used for overhead power transmission and distribution projects. It’s a preferred choice due to it’s favorable strength/weight ratio, achieved by the lightweight, strong conductivity of aluminum coupled with the high tensile strength of steel.

1. Code words shown are for standard ACSR/GA2 conductor. See the options for other applicable code word modifiers.
2. Rated strengths shown are applicable for ACSR/GA2 and ACSR/MA2 cores.
3. Direct current resistance is based on 61.2% IACS for 1350 wires (ASTM B230) and 8% IACS for the steel core (ASTM B498) at 20 °C using stranding increment as per ASTM B232.
4. Consult IEEE 738: Standard for Calculating the Current-Temperature of Bare Overhead Conductors.
5. Based on a conductor temperature of 75°C, ambient temperature 25°C, wind 2 ft/sec, exposed to sun and wind.
6. The data are an estimate based on given criteria and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
7. Reactance is based on 1 ft equivalent spacing.

ACSR-TP

Aluminum Conductor, Steel Reinforced, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors, Twisted Pair

Used for overhead power transmission and distribution projects. It’s twisted pair configuration allows it to protect against the effect of aeolian vibration and ice galloping. It also permits higher line tensions, which help reduce line costs by permitting lower sag and/or longer spans.

1. Code words shown are for standard ACSR/TP conductor with GA2 galvanized steel core. See the options for other applicable code word modifiers.
2. Rated strengths shown are applicable for ACSR/GA2 cores.
3. Direct current resistance is based on 61.2% IACS for 1350 wires (ASTM B230) and 8% IACS for the steel core (ASTM B498) at 20 °C using stranding increment as per ASTM B232. For alternating current resistance values for ACSR/TP conductors using single-layer component conductors, the effects of core magnetization is assumed to be mitigated by twisting.
4. Consult IEEE 738: Standard for Calculating the Current-Temperature of Bare Overhead Conductors
5. The above data are an estimate based on given criteria and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.

ACSR-TW

Aluminum Conductor, Steel Reinforced, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors, Trapezoidal Wire

Used for overhead power transmission and distribution projects. Trapezoidal shaped wire with compact aluminum concentric-lay-stranded conductor with steel coated core wire(s) makes it a preferred choice due to it’s favorable strength/weight ratio, achieved by the lightweight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength of steel.

ACSS

Aluminum Conductor, Steel Supported, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors

Used for overhead power transmission and distribution projects. Preferred over ACSR conductors because they can be operated up to 250°C whereas the maximum operating temperature of ACSR does not exceed 100°C. ACSS conductors are prone to resist the effects of aeolian vibration due to very little or no mechanical load on the annealed aluminum wires.

ACSS-AW

Aluminum Conductor, Aluminum Clad, Steel Supported, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors

Used for overhead power transmission and distribution projects. Preferred over ACSR conductors because they can be operated up to 250°C whereas the maximum operating temperature of ACSR does not exceed 100°C. ACSS-AW conductors are prone to resist the effects of aeolian vibration due to very little or no mechanical load on the annealed aluminum wires. ACSS-AW has similar strength characteristics as ACSS with slightly greater ampacity and resistance to corrosion due to aluminum cladding of the steel core wires.

The above are approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances. Other sizes available upon request.
Direct current resistance is based on 16.496 Ω·cmil/ft (63% IACS) at 20°C for 1350 aluminum nominal area of conductor and 129.64 Ω·cmil/ft (8% IACS) at 20°C for steel nominal area, with standard stranding increments ASTM B231.
† Ampacities are based on the following:
200°C Conductor Temperature, Conductivity 63%. Air Ambient 25°C, Wind 2 ft/s, Sun, Sea Level, Solar Absorption 0.5, Emissivity 0.5.
Refer to IEEE Standard 738 for addtional information.

ACSS-TW

Aluminum Conductor, Steel Supported, Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors, Trapezoidal Wire

Used for overhead power transmission and distribution projects. Trapezoidal shaped wire with compact aluminum concentric-lay-stranded conductor with steel coated core wire(s) makes it a preferred choice due to it’s favorable strength/weight ratio, achieved by the lightweight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength of steel. ACSS-TW can be operated up to 250°C whereas the maximum operating temperature of ACSR-TW does not exceed 100°C.

Secondary URD Ruggedized

Underground, Single/Duplex/Triplex/Quadruplex, XLPE Insulation, 600V – Aluminum

Used for secondary distribution and underground service at 600 volts or less. May be used in ducts or direct burial. It’s tougher and more durable construction gives it superior mechanical performance for direct burial use.

Utility Steel Strand

Guy, Static & Messenger Wire, Galvanized or Zinc-5% Aluminum Alloy Coated, 3 Strand, 7 Strand & 19 Strand – Steel

Commonly referred to as galvanized guy wire, it’s used for structural support and stabilization in electric utility and communications infrastructure including, pole guying, overhead static and ground wire applications, and messenger cable support. It provides high tensile strength and long-term corrosion resistance in outdoor environments. Galvanized (zinc-coated) strand is for reliable performance in standard utility installations, while zinc-5% aluminum alloy coated strand offers enhanced corrosion protection for coastal, industrial, and extended design-life applications. Designed to anchor and stabilize poles and towers, support aerial cable systems, and provide dependable grounding continuity where uninterrupted mechanical and electrical performance is required. Stocked primarily in extra high strength (EHS) grade. Other grades available upon request.
