Aluminum-Clad Steel Stranded Conductor is a bimetallic wire which steel wire is covered by Aluminum evenly with advantages of good electric conductivity, anti-corrosion, excellent high frequency transmission and high intensity. Aluminum-clad steel core aluminum stranded wire is a stranded wire which strands Aluminum-Clad Steel wire as reinforce core with aluminum wire. Compared with common Aluminum conductor steel reinforced, Aluminum-Clad Steel Stranded Conductor has the following advantages: 5% weight reducing, 2-3% load increase, 4-6% electric loss reduction, longer life and no extra cost. It is widely used for electric transmission line conductors, especially for coastal areas, salt alkali beach, grade 3 or grade 4 polluted industrial zone and the place with requirement of enlarged Aluminum steel cross-section ratio. ACS conductor is divided into 6 groups, that is 20AC, 23AC, 27AC, 30AC, 33AC and 40AC, with corresponding conductivity of 20.3%, 23%, 27%, 30%, and 40% IACS.
