How to Distinguish Between ACSR and AAAC Cable?

As a China Cable Supplier, share with you.

The main difference between the two aluminum wires is the material. The aluminum alloy stranded wire is AAAC, and the steel core aluminum stranded wire is ACSR. From the outside, the difference is not very big.

AAAC Cable

ACSR cable: steel core aluminum stranded wire

Steel core aluminum stranded wire is formed by twisting aluminum wire and steel wire, which is suitable for overhead transmission lines.

Functions and advantages:

The steel core aluminum stranded wire has simple structure, convenient installation and maintenance, low line cost, large transmission capacity, and is conducive to the laying of special geographical conditions such as crossing rivers and valleys. It has good electrical conductivity and sufficient mechanical strength and high tensile strength. The distance of the tower pole can be enlarged and so on. Therefore, it is widely used in overhead transmission and distribution lines of various voltage levels.

AAAC wire: all aluminum alloy stranded wire

Definition: All strands are stranded wires of aluminum alloy wire.

Aluminum alloy stranded wire is suitable for long-distance medium-voltage, high-voltage and ultra-high voltage overhead lines, for example, to transmit power in mountains, hills or severely frozen areas. All aluminum alloy stranded wire AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductor) is made of all aluminum alloy stranded wire. The use of all aluminum alloy overhead lines has a history of nearly 60 years. The aluminum alloy used is mainly based on the aluminum-magnesium-silicon series. During this period, due to the improvement of aluminum alloy properties and people's understanding that all aluminum alloy wires are superior to steel core aluminum stranded wires, all aluminum alloy overhead wires have been widely used.
