What's 1590 ACSR Lapwing Conductor
The ACSR Lapwing Conductor (1590 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 (0.188 inch diameter) wrapped around a core of 7 galvanized steel strands (0.1253 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.

Standards:
Our 1590 ACSR Lapwing Conductor is manufactured and rigorously tested in strict accordance with the following industry standards, guaranteeing high quality and performance:
Construction:
The ACSR Lapwing 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.
