When power conductors span long distances, mechanical factors can impact their performance. Aluminum-conducted, steel-reinforced (ACSR) wire and strands are designed for better performance, with low elongation and a high strength-to-weight ratio that help reduce cable sag over long distances.
ACSR cables typically feature a steel core, either as a single wire or strand, surrounded by the rest of the cable. This construction creates lightweight, durable ACSR conductors.
Choosing a top-tier ACSR core wire manufacturer is essential for producing high-quality products. At Bekaert, we supply ACSR core wire to companies that manufacture ACSR conductor strands. Our steel wire products can enhance your cable strength and contribute to our partners’ strong industry reputation.
