Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced Concentric-Lay-Stranded
Product Construction:
Complete Conductor:
ACSR is a composite concentric-lay-stranded
conductor. The conductors are manufactured in
accordance with the requirements of the latest
applicable issue of CAN/CSA C61089.
The steel strand or strands form the central core
of the conductor, around which is stranded one
or more layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires.
The steel core may consist of a single strand or
a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19, 37, or more
wires. Numerous combinations of aluminum and
steel strands and layers are possible. The sizes and
strandings listed on the following pages are common
examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes
are also available.
The Canadian ACSR conductors are similar in
design (strand component size and configuration)
to the ACSR conductors designed to ASTM B232
specifications. Differences lie in the methods used
to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance
values.
CAN/CSA C61089 refers to ACSR as Type A1/S1A
conductors, where the A1 refers to 1350 H19
aluminum and the S1A as Class A galvanized,
regular strength steel.

(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.

(4) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.

(4) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.

(4) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.

(4) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.

(4) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90˚ to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42˚ northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90˚ azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.
