TransPowr® Bare Overhead Conductors for Transmission and Distributiongeneral cable manufactures an extensive line of bare aluminum overhead products for both distribution and transmission applications. general cable’s transPowr® bare overhead products are manufactured and tested in accordance with the latest applicable cSa and aStM specifications.
general cable’s bare overhead conductors are available as a1 aluminum stranded conductors (aSc), a2 aluminum alloy stranded conductors (aaSc), aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (acSR or a1S1a), and aluminum conductor steel-supported (acSS). a1 or aSc consists of 1350-H19 aluminum, is lightweight and corrosion-resistant and is commonly used in overhead line installations where higher strength or temperature ratings are not required. a2 or aaSc consists of high-strength 6101 t81 aluminum alloy and is commonly used for overhead line installations adjacent to ocean coastlines where there can be a problem of corrosion in the steel of an acSR construction. acSR or a1S1a combines the light weight and good conductivity of 1350-H19 aluminum with the high tensile strength and ruggedness of steel. acSR provides higher tension, less sag and longer span lengths than a1 (aSc) and a2 (aaSc) overhead conductors. Standard acSR designs are manufactured with regular-strength class a galvanized steel (S1a).
With more than 35 years of experience, general cable applies the same “tried and true” process pioneered by Reynolds to offer transPowr® acSS conductors. With its unique ability to operate at higher temperatures and withstand harsh environmental factors, transPowr® acSS allows utilities to modernize and optimize the nation’s electrical grid with minimal capital investment. transPowr® acSS offers better performance over acSR when it operates at high temperatures without detriment to its mechanical properties and with significantly less sag, allowing for much higher ampacity ratings. Standard acSS designs are manufactured with 1350-o aluminum and regular-strength class a zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy coated steel (/Ma2). With several steel core options such as mischmetal, aluminum-clad steel and galvanized steel, transPowr® acSS is easily customized to meet specific applications and performance levels. transPowr® acSS is an affordable, long-lasting conductor with improved performance and reliability, made from aluminum and steel components that have been used in transmission lines for more than a hundred years. With thousands of miles installed throughout north america, acSS is a proven, trustworthy overhead conductor technology and remains the most accepted solution for high-temperature performance.
See the following page for a complete list and description of the numerous options that are available for transPowr® overhead products. For acSR (a1S1a) and acSS concentric round or trapezoidal conductors, a myriad of aluminum and steel stranding combinations are available. in addition, a variety of steel strengths and types of coatings or claddings is available. trapezoidal aac, acSR and acSS conductor designs are listed in separate catalog sections. compact aluminum and acSR stranded conductor information are also listed.
While general cable manufactures a complete range of bare overhead products, only the most popular designs are described in the following section. Details of other conductor sizes and designs are available upon request.
general cable provides technical assistance and advice on any challenges associated with conductor design, installation or application. engineering services are available for specification review, specification development and conductor application inquiries.

TransPowr® Bare Overhead Options:•Non-Specular(NS)–Overhead aluminum electrical conductors, when installed, typically have a shiny surface appearance. This “reflective” or “specular” surface can make a transmission line more noticeable in appearance against the background landscape. A factory treatment process of the outer surface of the aluminum wires can render the surface finish into a dull, non-specular matte gray finish. This non- reflective or “de-glared” surface finish allows the conductor to become less visible when observed from a distance and enables the transmission line to blend in with the skyline or landscape background. The “NS” surface finish option is available for all types of bare overhead conductors that have aluminum outer strand wires.
•High-ConductivityAluminum(HC)–The normal 1350 hard-drawn aluminum material used for an ACSR-type conductor has a minimum lot average conductivity value of 61.2% IACS (International Association Copper Standard). By carefully selecting the feed stock of the raw materials and manufacturing process used to refine the aluminum and convert it into rolled rod, a purer grade of 1350 aluminum can be manufactured. When this is done, the aluminum minimum lot average conductivity value is increased to 62.2%. The use of the higher conductivity metal means the overall electrical resistance of the conductor is lowered. Lowering the electrical resistance means there are lower line losses incurred in the transmission line.
•“Mischmetal”Alloy-CoatedSteel–Inside an ACSR and ACSS conductor, there is the stranded steel core. To provide corrosion protection for the steel, traditionally zinc has been used to coat (galvanize) the steel. In recent years, a zinc alloy material has also been used. This material, a 95% zinc/5% aluminum alloy, is available as an optional steel wire coating material. The alloy, known as zinc-5% aluminum “mischmetal” alloy, demonstrates improved corrosion resistance and high temperature exposure compatibility as compared to regular zinc. For ACSS conductors, “mischmetal” alloy-coated steel is recommended for applications where the conductor will see exposure to temperatures in excess of 200°C.
•Ultra-High-StrengthSteel–In response to industry needs, there are new high- strength carbon steel materials now available for ACSR and ACSS conductors. The higher strength steel overcomes some of the previous transmission line design limitations encountered with available conductor selection options. The availability of these new steel materials boosts the conductor rated strength and can enable enhanced sag and tension calculation results. General Cable identifies the new ultra-high-strength steel as GA5 (for zinc-coated steel) and MA5 (for the zinc-5% aluminum “mischmetal” alloy-coated steel) strength grade designations. General Cable participated in the creation of two new ASTM standards to introduce these new steel types (ASTM B957 for GA5 steel and ASTM B958 for MA5 steel).

TransPowr®BareOverheadOptions(cont’d.):•Aluminum-CladSteel(20SA[AW])–In Canada, the 20SA (ASTM “AW”) identifier is used for aluminum-clad steel. Elsewhere in the world, other designations are used. Aluminum-clad steel is chosen for coastal locations or applications where there are severe corrosion concerns for the steel core and a zinc or “mischmetal” coated steel will not last. Aluminum-clad steel also offers the advantage of having a higher conductivity than conventional galvanized steel wires. The higher conductivity will reduce the line loss parameters of the transmission line, saving energy and reducing the day-to-day operating cost. In an ACSS conductor, aluminum-clad steel can allow the conductor to be operated up to 250°C. Aluminum-clad steel core wires are manufactured in accordance with CAN/CSA C61232.
•Compact(SmoothBody)Conductors–General Cable can supply compact AAC (to CSA 49.5) and compact ACSR (to CSA 49.2) “smooth body” type conductor products for distribution conductor sizes. Compact conductors reduce the overall diameter of the conductor, thus lowering the resultant wind and ice loads on the conductor. In heavy ice load locations, the compact conductor option may be an interesting design option to explore. Contact your General Cable sales representative for additional information.
•Trapezoidal(TW)Conductors–For overhead transmission conductor applications, General Cable supplies TW compact-style conductors. The aluminum wires in a “round wire” stranded conductor leave approximately 25% of an air gap between the aluminum strands. Compacting the aluminum strands into the trapezoidal (TW) shape allows you to significantly reduce this empty air space and fill it with aluminum. By “compacting” the metal space, it allows you to build a conductor that either a) has the same cross-sectional area of aluminum and a reduced overall conductor diameter or b) has the same overall conductor diameter as before, but now squeezes in more aluminum cross-sectional area. Reducing the overall diameter of the conductor provides the advantage of lowering the resultant ice and wind loading on the conductor. Maintaining the same diameter by increasing the aluminum metal content means you lower the power loss in the conductor for day-to-day operations, as well as having a higher overall conductor ampacity rating. With TW conductors, the growing trend is to utilize the same diameter/increased aluminum cross-sectional area option.
•AluminumAlloySteelReinforcedConductors(A2/SxA)–General Cable is capable of building ACSR conductors where the A1 (1350 H19) aluminum wires are replaced with the higher strength A2 (6101 T81) or A4 (6101 T83) aluminum alloy material. These type of super high strength conductors are used in river crossings or for long span applications where the traditional ACSR conductor will not work. Contact General Cable to find out more details about these customized conductor constructions and see how they might be of benefit to you and your line design application.
TransPowr® bare overhead conductors can be designed to meet special applications and requirements. For designs not found in these catalog pages, contact your General Cable sales representative.

Product Construction:
Complete Conductor: Bare all-aluminum 1350 (a1 or aSc) are concentric-lay-stranded conductors consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically around a straight round central wire. each successive layer has six wires more than the layer immediately beneath. greater flexibility is provided by increasing the number of strands for a specific cross-sectional area. a1 or aSc conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of can/cSa c61089.
a1 or aSc (aluminum Stranded conductor) conductors are cSa reference terms. the canadian constructions are similar in design (strand component size and configuration) to the aStM B231 specifications. Differences lie in the methods used to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance values.
the commonly used strandings are 7, 19, 37, 61 and 91. the sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.
TransPowr®A1(ASC)BareOverheadConductortoCAN/CSAC61089all-aluminum 1350 conductor concentric-Lay-Stranded
CompleteConductor(cont’d.):Class AA strandings are used for bare overhead lines. the direction of lay of the outer layer is right-hand and is normally reversed in successive layers. the temper is full hard drawn (H19).
Class A strandings are used primarily for overhead conductors which are to be covered with weather-resistant materials. greater flexibility is provided than class aa. the outer layer is right-hand, and the temper is generally H19. Successive layers are normally reverse lay.
FeaturesandBenefits:optimum economy is provided since the lighter weight means lower unit length costs, easier handling in installation and less complex fittings. all-aluminum conductors have an inherent high corrosion resistance due to their homogeneous construction.
Applications:Stranded bare a1 or aSc 1350 all-aluminum conductors are used for overhead line installations where design parameters do not require the higher strength or temperature ratings provided by acSR, acSS or other type of bare conductor.

Electric Utility Overhead Conductors
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor: Smooth Body bare all-aluminum 1350 (a1 or aSc) are compact concentric-lay-stranded conductors consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically around a straight round central wire. Smooth Body conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of cSa c49.5.
a1 or aSc (aluminum Stranded conductor) are cSa reference terms. the canadian constructions are similar in design (strand component size and configuration) to the aStM B400 specification. Differences lie in the methods used to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance values.
the commonly used strandings are 7, 18, and 19. the sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.
CompleteConductor(cont’d.):Class AA strandings are used for bare overhead lines. the direction of lay of the outer layer is right-hand and is reversed in successive layers. the temper is full hard drawn (H19).
Class A strandings are used primarily for overhead conductors which are to be covered with weather-resistant materials. greater flexibility is provided than class aa. the direction of lay of the outer layers is right-hand and is reversed in successive layers. the temper is full hard drawn (H19).
FeaturesandBenefits:the conductors are smaller in diameter and offer lower ice load/wind resistance profile factors.
the conductors are lighter in weight than acSR, which translates into lower unit length costs, easier handling in installation and less complex fittings.
all-aluminum conductors have an inherent high corrosion resistance due to their homogeneous construction.
Applications:Stranded bare a1 or aSc 1350 all-aluminum conductors are used for overhead line installations where design parameters do not require the higher strength or temperature ratings provided by acSR, acSS or other type of bare conductor.
Options: •High-Conductivityaluminum(/HC)(62.2%IACS)
•Non-Specularsurfacefinish(/NS)

TransPowr®AAC/TWBareOverheadConductortoASTMB778 trapezoidal all-aluminum 1350 concentric-Lay-Stranded
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor: transPowr® aac/tW is a trapezoidal 1350 H19 aluminum (aac) concentric-lay-stranded conductor. the aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape. the wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable a more compact alignment of the aluminum wires.
conductor designs that maintain the same circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum as a conventional round conductor result in a tW conductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller in overall diameter.
conductor designs that maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round conductor result in a tW conductor that has 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in.
the aac/tW conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of aStM B778.
the conductor consists of two, three, four or five layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. the sizes and constructions listed on this and the following pages are examples used in overhead lines.
FeaturesandBenefits:transPowr® aac /tW has a continuous operating temperature rating of 75°c. operation of the conductor at elevated temperatures may increase the conductor sag properties and lower the rated tensile strength of the conductor.
aac/tW conductors constructed of equivalent aluminum circular mil cross-sectional area provide a conductor that is smaller in overall diameter than the equivalent conventional round wire aac conductor. the reduced conductor diameter is advantageous in reducing the effects of ice and wind loading on the conductor.
aac/tW conductors constructed to equivalent overall diameter enable a greater circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum within the conductor, allowing a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity.
Applications:trapezoidal 1350 H19 aluminum conductors (aac/tW) are used for overhead transmission lines where design parameters do not require the higher strength or temperature ratings provided by acSR, acSS, or other type conductors.
Electrical Parameters:the electrical parameters for the trapezoidal aac equivalent circular mil area and equivalent overall diameter conductors may be found in the last table of this section.
Options: •Compactaluminumstrands
•Trapezoidal-shapedaluminumstrands(/TW)
•High-Conductivityaluminum(/HC)(62.2%IACS)
•Non-Specularsurfacefinish(/NS)
at the present time, can/cSa c61089 does not recognize tW conductor designs. the information provided on the following pages is from our US catalog.

Electric Utility Overhead Conductors
TransPowr® A2(AASC)BareOverheadConductor toCAN/CSAC61089aluminum alloy conductor concentric-Lay-Stranded
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor: a2 conductors are high strength aluminum alloy, concentric-lay-stranded conductors. they are similar in construction and appearance to the a1 or aac all-aluminum conductors. the conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of can/cSa c61089.
a2 or aaSc (aluminum alloy Stranded conductor) are cSa reference terms.
the a2/aaSc conductors are manufactured from a heat-treated, magnesium-silicon high strength aluminum alloy.
the aluminum strands consist of a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19, 37, or more wires. the sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines.
FeaturesandBenefits:aluminum alloy conductors have a number of advantages over the use of the acSR or all-aluminum conductors.
•Lowerpowerlossesthanforequivalentsingle aluminum layer acSR conductors. (the inductive effect of the steel core in the acSR is eliminated.)
•SimplerfittingsthanthoserequiredforACSR.
•Excellentcorrosionresistanceinenvironmentsconducive to galvanic corrosion in acSR.
•Strengthandsagsapproximatelythesameasfor equivalent 6/1 and 26/7 acSR conductors.
•OutsidediametersarethesameasforstandardacSR conductors, permitting interchangeability of fittings.
•Greaterresistancetoabrasionthanthatfor 1350 wires in all-aluminum or acSR conductors.
Applications:a2 aluminum alloy conductors are extensively used for overhead distribution and transmission lines adjacent to ocean coastlines where there can be a problem of corrosion in the steel of an acSR construction.
the aluminum alloy conductors are used in place of single layer acSR conductors (i.e., 6 aWg to 4/0 aWg) to reduce power losses in overhead distribution and transmission lines. the inductive effect of the acSR’s steel core is eliminated, hence increasing the operating efficiency of the line.
Option: •Non-Specularsurfacefinish(/NS)

TransPowr®ACSRBareOverheadConductortoCAN/CSAC61089aluminum conductor Steel-Reinforced concentric-Lay-Stranded
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor: acSR is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. the conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of can/cSa c61089.
the steel strand or strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. the steel core may consist of a single strand or a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19, 37, or more wires. numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible. the sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.
the canadian acSR conductors are similar in design (strand component size and configuration) to the acSR conductors designed to aStM B232 specifications. Differences lie in the methods used to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance values.
can/cSa c61089 refers to acSR as type a1/S1a conductors, where the a1 refers to 1350 H19 aluminum and the S1a as class a galvanized, regular strength steel.
FeaturesandBenefits:acSR conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength/weight ratio. acSR conductors combine the light weight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength and ruggedness of steel. in line design, this can provide higher tensions, less sag, and longer span lengths than obtainable with most other types of overhead conductors. the steel strands are added as mechanical reinforcements. the cross-sections above illustrate some common strandings.
the steel core wires are protected from corrosion by galvanizing. the standard class a zinc coating is usually adequate for ordinary environments. For greater protection, class B coating may be specified. High Strength (S2a) or extra High Strength (S3a) steel core with class a galvanizing are also available.
the product is available with conductor corrosion inhibitor treatment applied to the central steel component.
Applications:aluminum conductors, Steel-Reinforced (acSR) are extensively used for overhead distribution and transmission lines.

TransPowr®Compact(SmoothBody)ACSRBareOverhead Conductor to CSA C49.2 aluminum conductor Steel-Reinforced compact Stranded
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor: Smooth Body acSR is a composite compact-lay-stranded conductor. the conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issues of cSa c49.2.
the steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded a layer of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. the sizes listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.
the canadian Smooth Body acSR conductors are supplied in various tensile strength configurations, designated as type 100, type 150, and type 200. For each conductor gauge size, the regular product is known as type 100. type 150 designates a conductor design with the same aWg size, but with 150% the rated strength of the type 100. type 200 follows accordingly, with twice the rated strength of the type 100.
FeaturesandBenefits:acSR conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength/weight ratio. acSR conductors combine the light weight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength and ruggedness of steel. in line design, this can provide higher tensions, less sag, and longer span lengths than obtainable with most other types of overhead conductors. the steel strands are added as mechanical reinforcements. the cross-sections above illustrate some common strandings.
the steel core wires are protected from corrosion by galvanizing. the standard class a zinc coating is usually adequate for ordinary environments. For greater protection, class B and c galvanized coatings may be specified.
the product is available with conductor corrosion-resistant inhibitor treatment applied to the central steel component.
Applications:compact aluminum conductors, Steel-Reinforced (acSR) are used for overhead distribution and transmission lines.
the type 100 compact aScR conductor style is also used as the support conductor in the cSa neutral Supported Service entrance cable as referenced in the cSa c22.2 no. 129 specification.

TransPowr®ACSR/TWBareOverheadConductortrapezoidal aluminum conductor Steel-Reinforced concentric-Lay-Stranded
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor:transPowr® acSR/tW is a trapezoidal aluminum conductor steel-reinforced concentric-lay-stranded conductor. the aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape.
the wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable a more compact alignment of the aluminum wires. conductor designs that maintain the same circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum as a conventional round conductor result in a tW conductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller in overall diameter. conductor designs that maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round conductor result in a tW conductor that has 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in.
the acSR/tW conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of aStM B779.
the steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded two, three or four layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. the steel core may consist of a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19 or more wires. numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible. the sizes and constructions listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines.
For acSR/tW conductors, the standard class a galvanized coating is usually adequate for ordinary environments.
Features and Benefits:transPowr® acSR/tW has a continuous operating temperature rating of 75°c. acSR and acSR/tW conductors have an “industry-accepted” short-duration maximum operating temperature rating of 100°c. operation of the conductor at elevated temperatures may increase the conductor sag properties and lower the rated tensile strength of the conductor.
transPowr® acSR/tW conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength-to-weight ratio. acSR/tW conductors constructed of equivalent aluminum circular mil cross-sectional area provide a conductor that is smaller in overall diameter than the equivalent conventional round wire acSR conductor. the reduced conductor diameter is advantageous in reducing the effects of ice and wind loading on the conductor. acSR/tW conductors constructed to equivalent overall diameter enable a greater circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum within the conductor, allowing a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity.
Applications:trapezoidal aluminum conductors Steel-Reinforced (acSR/tW) are used for overhead transmission lines.
Electrical Parameters:the electrical parameters for the trapezoidal acSR equivalent circular mil area and equivalent overall diameter conductors may be found in the last table of this section.

Electric Utility Overhead Conductors
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor:acSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded cable. acSS conductors are manufactured in accordance with the latest issue of aStM B856.
the steel strands form the central core of the cable, around which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-o wires. the “o” temper of the aluminum, a fully annealed or soft temper, causes most or all of the mechanical load on acSS to be carried by the steel. Standard acSS designs are manufactured with regular-strength class a zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy-coated steel core (/Ma2). the steel core may consist of 7, 19, 37 or more wires.
Features and Benefits:acSS conductors are similar to conventional acSR with some very important additional advantages. acSS can operate continuously at high temperatures up to 250°c without damage, allowing for a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity.
acSS sags less under emergency electrical loadings than acSR, it is self-damping, and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of the aluminum.
Applications:aluminum conductor Steel-Supported (acSS) is used for overhead transmission lines. it is especially useful in reconductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances; new line applications where structures can be economized due to reduced sag; new line applications requiring high emergency loadings; and lines where aeolian vibration is a problem.

Product Construction:
Complete Conductor:transPowr® acSS/tW is a trapezoidal aluminum conductor steel-supported concentric-lay-stranded conductor. the aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape.
the wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable a more compact alignment of the aluminum wires. conductor designs that maintain the same circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum as a conventional round conductor result in a tW conductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller in overall diameter. conductor designs that maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round conductor result in a tW conductor that has 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in.
the acSS/tW conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of aStM B857.
the steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded two, three or four layers of aluminum 1350 o temper (annealed) wires. the steel core may consist of a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19 or more wires. numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible. the sizes and constructions listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines.
Standard acSS/tW designs are manufactured with regular-strength class a zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy-coated steel core (/Ma2).
FeaturesandBenefits:transPowr® acSS/tW conductors are similar to conventional acSR/tW conductors but have some very important additional advantages. acSS/tW conductors can operate continuously at high temperatures (up to 250°c) without damage. acSS sags less than acSR/tW under emergency electrical loadings, it has self-damping properties, and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of the aluminum.
acSS/tW conductors constructed of equivalent aluminum circular mil cross-sectional area provide a conductor that is smaller in overall diameter than the equivalent conventional round wire acSS conductor. the reduced conductor diameter is advantageous in reducing the effects of ice and wind loading on the conductor.
acSS/tW conductors constructed to equivalent overall diameter enable a greater circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum within the conductor, allowing a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity.
Applications:trapezoidal aluminum conductors Steel-Supported (acSS/tW) are used for overhead transmission lines. they are especially useful in reconductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances; new line applications where structures can be economized due to reduced sag; new line applications requiring high emergency loadings; and lines where aeolian vibration is a problem.
Electrical Parameters:the electrical parameters for the trapezoidal acSS equivalent circular mil area and equivalent overall diameter conductors may be found in the last table of this section.

Electric Utility Overhead Conductors
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor:acSR/SD conductors are manufactured with two layers of 1350 H19 trapezoidal-shaped aluminum wires concentrically stranded around a steel core of round coated steel wires. on certain larger conductor constructions, the trapezoidal-shaped wires are surrounded by a layer of round 1350 H19 aluminum wires. the steel core and the two layers of trapezoidal-shaped aluminum wires are separated by a gap to provide the self-damping characteristics. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by aluminum-clad, galvanized, or zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy coating. Standard, high, extra- and ultra-high-strength steel is also available. the acSR/SD conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of aStM B701.
FeaturesandBenefits:the steel core and the two layers of trapezoidal- shaped aluminum wires in acSR/SD are separated by a gap designed to provide self-damping characteristics to control aeolian vibration—eliminating the need for vibration dampers. additional advantages in using aScR/SD include: shorter, more economical towers, increased reliability, lower overall line cost, reduced sag, reduced ice and wind loads as well as permitting longer spans.
Applications:acSR/SD conductors are used for overhead transmission lines to control aeolian vibration.

Electric Utility Overhead Conductors
TransPowr® Weatherproof Overhead Line Wire Single conductor LLDPe or XLPe covered Line Wire to cSa c68.9
Product Construction:
Complete Cable:Weatherproof line wire consists of single conductor covered with either Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPe) or cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPe). conductors may be compact or concentric strand of acSR, a1 or a2 or solid, compact or concentric strand copper. Weatherproof line wire meets the requirements of cSa c68.9 and the anSi/icea S-70-547 specification, as applicable.
Conductors: Different conductor types are available. Solid or stranded MHD copper, compact or concentric HD aluminum, aluminum alloy, or acSR are all options that are available.
the conductors meet the requirements of cSa c49.2, can/cSa c61089, aStM B3, B8, B231, B232, B400, or B496 as applicable. For aluminum and acSR conductors, the direction of lay of the outer layer of the strand is right-hand. For copper conductors, the direction of lay of the outer layer of the strand is left-hand.
For products manufactured with aluminum conductors, the product is available with conductor corrosion-resistant inhibitor treatment.
CompleteCable(cont’d.):Covering: Black, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPe) or black extruded cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPe) coverings are available.
there is no voltage rating.
Features and Benefits:the covering provides mechanical protection to the conductor and is resistant to weathering and chemicals. if the conductors accidentally come into contact due to high winds, falling tree limbs, or other disturbances, the covering resists short circuits and the tendency for conductors to weld together.
Applications:Weatherproof line wire is used for overhead transmission and distribution lines. covered line wire is not an electrically insulated cable. therefore, it should be installed on insulators, and users should treat line wire as bare conductor for personal safety.
Options:•Medium-DensityPolyethylene(MDPE)•High-DensityCross-linkedPolyethylene (HDXLPe)•Annealed(softdrawn)copperfortransformer

(1) Code words shown are for PE products; add the suffix “XLP” to the code word for cross-linked products. Example: Walnut/XLP.(2) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 25˚C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec (0.61 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.91 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.95 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting in 96.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.

Cable reels should be stored on hard surfaces resting on theflange’s edge (flanges vertical). Align reels flange to flangeand, if possible, arrange so that first in is first out. Multiplereels stacked on top of each other (“Pancake” storage) or storingreelsflat(flangeshorizontal)isnotrecommendedforbare conductor or medium-voltage cable. The weight of the stackcan total thousands of pounds, creating an enormous loadon the bottom reel. Also, damage to the reel and/or cable will likely occur when the reel is flipped for transit. A concentration of stress on the reel flange may cause it to break and subsequentlydamagethecable.
