// Aluminium Conductor Alloy - Reinforced (ACAR)

Description
The conductor consists of Aluminium wires and Aluminium alloy wires, built up in concentric layers. The centre wire or wires are Aluminium alloy and the outer layer or layers are of Aluminium. In case required, neutral grease shall be applied between the layers of ACAR except the outer layer.

Standard
ASTM B524, IEC 61089 and other International Specifications. The requirement/specifications given by the purchaser are also taken care of.

Characteristics
Aluminium Conductors with central core of Aluminium Alloy wires.

ACAR offers excellent balance between mechanical & electrical properties.

Excellent corrosion resistance owing to compatible materials in centre core and outer layers.

A compromise choice between AAC, ACSR and AAAC and sometimes can be a line engineer’s cheer.

1350 designates grade of pure Aluminium.

6201 designates Aluminium Alloy grade.

Application
ACAR bare conductors are used for overhead high tension power transmission lines having long spans.
