What's 556.5 ACSR Osprey Conductor

The ACSR Osprey Conductor (556.5 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 18 aluminum strands (0.1758 inch diameter) wrapped around a core of 1 galvanized steel strands (0.1758 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.
