ACAR
Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced

Conductor construction： ACAR is a concentric-lay-stranded conductor made from round aluminum1350-H19 (extra hard) wires and round aluminum 6201-T81 wires. The conductors of ACAR are available in both single and multi-layer constructions. ACAR wire provides an ideal balance of high tensile strength and excellent electrical conductivity.
Conductor applications： The current carrying capacity for transmission and distribution projects for which AAC Conductors do not provide the required strength and AAAC or ACSR conductors are either not required or suitable.
Conductor features： Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) has no hysteresis losses, no electrochemical reactions, and lower power transmission resistance.

What Is ACAR Conductor?

ACAR concentric-lay-stranded conductors in single and multi-layer conductor designs to optimize the strength and the current carrying capacity for transmission and distribution projects for which AAC conductors do not provide the required strength and AAAC or ACSR conductors are either not required or suitable.

ACAR Conductor Construction

ACAR is a concentric-laystranded conductor made from round aluminum 1350-H19 (extra hard) wires and round aluminum 6201-T81 wires. ACAR conductors, one of the bare conductor types, are available in single and multi-layer constructions for applications such as river crossings and long-span installations. These choices provide the necessary strength and the current carrying capacity for given applications. For equal weight, ACAR conductors offer higher strength and ampacity than ACSR conductors.
