PRIMECAB ACSR Conductors

PRIMECAB ACSR Conductors are the backbone of overhead power infrastructure. By combining the high conductivity of Aluminum with the high tensile strength of Steel, these conductors allow for longer spans with significantly less sag, making them the industry standard for power transmission across vast distances.

The Composite Design

The "Bifurcation" or layering of an ACSR conductor is engineered for mechanical and electrical balance

• Centre (Steel): The center consists of one or more Galvanized Steel wires. This "Strength Member" carries the mechanical load of the cable, allowing for higher tension and longer distances between poles.
• Outer Layers (Aluminum): Surrounding the steel core are multiple layers of high-conductivity, Hard-Drawn Aluminum (EC Grade) wires. These layers carry the bulk of the electrical current.
• Corrosion Protection: The steel core is galvanized (zinc-coated), and for high-pollution or coastal areas, a specialized Grease Coating can be applied between the layers to prevent galvanic corrosion.
