    ACAR is an aluminum conductor aluminum alloy reinforced bare overhead transmission and distribution cable. It has a good strength-to-weight ratio, offering higher strength and ampacity than ACSR for equal weight. It meets ASTM specifications for aluminum and aluminum alloy wires. It is constructed of aluminum 1350-H19 wires concentrically stranded around an aluminum alloy 6201-T81 core, with alloy strands distributed throughout in some constructions.

    ACAR

    Aluminum Conductor. Aluminum Alloy Reinforced. Bare.

    APPLICATIONS

    Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. A good strength-to-weight ratio
    makes ACAR applicable where both ampacity and strength are prime considerations in line design; for equal weight, ACAR
    offers higher strength and ampacity than ACSR.

    SPECIFICATIONS

    Southwire's ACAR bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:

    • B230 Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes.


    • B398 Aluminum-Alloy 6201-T81 Wire for Electrical Purposes.
    • B524 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Alloy Reinforced (ACAR, 1350/6201).

    CONSTRUCTION

    Aluminum 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded about an aluminum-alloy 6201-T81 core. Although the alloy strands
    generally comprise the core of the conductor, in some constructions they are distributed in layers throughout the aluminum
    1350-H19 strands.
