Aluminum Conductor & ACSR Power Cable
Pacific Wire and Cable Company uses the aluminum conductor of the overhead aluminum wire, which is light and cheap. If it is combined with the stranding of steel wire and aluminum clad steel wire, it can increase the tensile strength of the aluminum cable. It has engineering economic value and is widely used. Used in overhead transmission and distribution circuits.

Product Description
Aluminum Conductor & ACSR Power Cable
In early stages, most conductors of electric wire & cable had used the copper materials. Until in the early 20th century, the aluminum wires had been succeeded in using the conductors of electric wire & cable in the America and Canada. Afterward the aluminum conductors has been using more widespread to substitute copper conductors. In the beginning, alumunum materials were used in the overhead transmission conductors. Then developed to many applications including aluminum conductors (used in the transmisson & distribution electric circuit of the high voltage for electric tower), XLPE cables, the terminal of electronic parts and enamel wires, listed in below.
| Wire Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Aluminum Conductor & ACSR Power Cable | overhead transmission & distribution lines、 XLPE cable (AAC、ACSR、ACSR/AW、ACW、TACSR、TACSR/AW、ZTACIR) |
