ACSR Conductor Strands

Bekaert’s wires or strands for ACSR conductors are made from galvanized, high carbon, steel wire. They are suitable for reinforcing overhead power conductors. The wire is used as either single-center wire or processed into a multiple wire strand. To help your production process, our  advice and support wherever you are located.

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.

The Leading Steel Fabricator for ACSR Core Wire

Our complete portfolio of steel wire products and processes includes customizing steel fabrication projects. We control the entire production process, so we can match your specifications and needs. Our capabilities include single wires as well as 7-strand and 19-strand configurations. Beyond those choices, we offer several coatings to improve our steel wires. 

Our Class A, Class B and Class C galvanized coatings meet various certification standards. Class A and Class B are the most popular options, but we provide the coatings you usually buy. Bezinal®, our in-house coating, is a zinc-aluminum coating that adds corrosion resistance. ACSR steel wire coated in Bezinal® presents better longevity and protection for high-temperature conductors. 

We combine expert processes to provide high-tensile steel wires with Bezinal® coating for ACSR conductor strands.
