Characteristics
All Aluminium Conductors Alloy reinforced (ACAR): is formed by concentrically stranded Wires of Aluminium on high strength Aluminium-Magnesium- Silicon (AlMgSi) Alloy core. ACAR has got a better mechanical and electrical properties as compared to an equivalent conductors of ACSR,AAC or AAAC. A very good balance between the mechanical and electrical properties therefore makes ACAR the best choice where the ampacity , strength , and light weight are the main consideration of the line design. These conductors are extensively used in overhead transmission and distribution lines.
