Product Description
1.Product Description
Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) is formed by concentrically stranded wires of Aluminium 1350 on high strength Aluminium -Magnesium -Silicon(AlMgSi) alloy core. The number of wires of Aluminum1350 & AlMgSi alloy depends on the cable design. Though the general design comprises a stranded core of AlMgSi alloy strand, in certain cable constructions , the wires of AlMgSi alloy strands can be distributed in layers throughout the Aluminium 1350 strands.
ACAR has got a better mechanical and electrical properties as compared to an equivalent 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.
Midal can manufacture & supply ACAR on Non returnable wooden/steel reels or Returnable steel reels.

2.Application
ACSR, AAC, AAAC,ASCSR&ACAR conductor widely used in power transmission lines with various voltage levels. Since they have such good characteristics as simple structure, convenient installation and maintenance, low cost for the line, large transmission capacity and are also suitable for laying across rivers and valleys etc aerial line.
3.Standard
ACAR manufactured by Midal meets or exceeds the requirements of all international standards like ASTM, AS, BS, CSA, DIN, IEC, NFC, SS -etc
4.Characteristics
- improved strength to weight ratio
- better mechanical properties
- improved electrical characteristics
- excellent resistance to corrosion
Packaging & Shipping
PACKAGING&SHIPPING
Different package for customer choose !
Our electrical cable export packing is specially made to ensure that the quality of the products will be not affected during the transportation. Our electrical cable is using electrical cable wheel for the packing, the wheel can be all steel, steel frame and fumigated wood, or fumigated wooden cases. We are using different packing for different length of the cable, to ensure there will be no problem during the delivery of the products.
1. If the diameter of the wheel is longer than 2 meters, we are using all steel wheel to pack the products
2. If the diameter of the wheel is between 1.4meters to 1.8meters, we are using steel frame and fumigated wood to pack the products.
3. If the diameter of the wheel is less than 1.4meters, we will use the fumigated wooden wheel to pack the products
4. For the packing of the electrical wires and small quantity of cables, we will use the fumigated wooden box to pack.
