Applications
ACAR cables are used for overhead transmission and distribution lines.

Construction
Concentric-stranded cable formed by a core of 6201-T81 aluminum alloy wires surrounded by 1350 H-19 aluminum wires concentrically stranded over the alloy core.  Some designs have 1350 aluminum wires and 6201 alloy wires intercalated in the same layer.

Features
Very good ratio Tensile Strength to Weight.  Highly resistant to corrosion.

Standards
  • ASTM B-524

    Notes
    Current Carrying Capacity is based on 77oF (25oC) ambient temperature,
    167oF (75oC) conductor temperature, 2 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) wind velocity,
    0.5 Cable emissivity, sun 96 watts/sq.ft (1000 watts/mo), at sea level.
