ACAR cable means aluminum conductor alloy reinforced.
Due to a high-strength aluminum alloy core instead of a steel core, the total weight of the cable can become lighter, and the load of the tower is reduced, so the investment of the tower can be reduced.
Because of the high-strength aluminum-magnesium silicon aluminum alloy core with 52.5% IACS in the strengthening core, the resistance of the cable is significantly reduced, and the current-carrying capacity is higher than that of the ordinary cable.
Aluminum alloy core instead of steel core, easy to recycle, is a resource-saving, eco-friendly product.
ACAR is a single material of aluminum matrix, there is no hysteresis loss in AC operation. So, It is AC resistance under normal load is more advantageous.
In addition, because the ACAR is a single material of aluminum matrix, there is no electrochemical corrosion of bimetal, with anti-corrosion function, and long service life.
Because of its lightweight and large flow rate advantages, ACAR is generally used as a new line to replace the ACSR cable, known as the second generation of cable products.
