What's 1272 ACSR Bittern Conductor

The ACSR Bittern Conductor (1272 AWG or kcmil) is a widely used aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cable designed for overhead power transmission and distribution systems. It is manufactured with 45 aluminum strands (0.1681 inch diameter) wrapped around a core of 7 galvanized steel strands (0.1121 inch diameter). This unique construction delivers an ideal balance of lightweight aluminum conductivity and high mechanical strength from the steel core,enables higher tensions, less sag, and longer spans than any alternative.

ACSR

Standards:

Our 1272 ACSR Bittern Conductor is manufactured and rigorously tested in strict accordance with the following industry standards, guaranteeing high quality and performance:

  • B230 Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes
  • B232 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
  • B498 Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.
  • B500 Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.

Construction:

The ACSR Bittern Conductor features a precise construction designed for optimal performance:

1.Aluminum 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded about a steel core. Standard core wire for ACSR is class A galvanized

2.Class A core stranding is also available in zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating.

3.For aluminum-clad (AW) ACSR, please refer to the ACSR/AW catalog sheet

4.Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or infusion of the complete cable with grease

5.ACSR conductor is also available in non-specular.
