ACSR/TW
Aluminum Conductor. Steel Reinforced. Trapezoidal Shaped Aluminum Strands.
Application
- Used for bare overhead transmission, and primary and secondary distribution.
- Two design offerings: Equal Area or Equal Diameter when compared to standard round ACSR
- Equal area designs allow comparable ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when compared to a standard round ACSR.
- Equal diameter designs allow more ampacity and strength in an equal diameter conductor when compared to a standard round ACSR.

Construction
- Aluminum 1350-H19 trapezoidal-shaped wires, concentrically stranded about a steel core. Standard core wire coating for ACSR is Class A galvanized (GA2).
- Also available in zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating or aluminum-clad (AW)
- Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or complete conductor.
- Also available in non-specular
