ACSR/AW Aluminium-Clad Steel Reinforced Conductor
ACSR/AW conductor retains the round hard-drawn aluminium layers of ACSR but replaces the conventional coated-steel core with aluminium-clad steel wires. The change is concentrated in the reinforcing core, affecting corrosion strategy, conductivity, mass, strength and fittings without turning the outer layer into trapezoidal wire.
Key Advantages
- Aluminium-clad core: Provides an aluminium surface around each reinforcing steel wire.
- ACSR-type outer layers: Retains round hard-drawn aluminium as the main current path.
- Core-specific design: Strength, resistance and fittings are confirmed for the AW construction.
Product Overview
The purpose of ACSR/AW is to change the reinforcing-core material system while preserving the basic round-wire ACSR arrangement. Aluminium cladding on the steel core provides a different exposed surface and contributes more conductivity than a conventional coated-steel core, while the steel component continues to provide tensile reinforcement.
ACSR/AW should not be selected by applying a generic correction to an ACSR table. Aluminium-clad steel grade, core stranding, aluminium-to-core ratio, finished dimensions and rated strength must come from an approved ACSR/AW construction. Compression fittings and corrosion interfaces also need separate confirmation.
Key Features
- Round hard-drawn aluminium strands form the principal current-carrying layers.
- Aluminium-clad steel core wires replace the conventional coated-steel core surface system.
- The core contributes both reinforcement and a defined electrical component to the composite conductor.
- Project selection must use ACSR/AW-specific dimensions, strength, resistance and hardware data.
Product Applications
- Reinforced overhead lines where an aluminium-clad steel core is specified
- Coastal, industrial or other routes comparing alternative core corrosion strategies
- Transmission and distribution projects requiring ACSR-type construction with AW core data

From Production to Delivery
From raw material preparation to final shipment, every stage is carefully controlled to ensure consistent conductor quality, reliable performance, and safe delivery. Our production, inspection, packaging, and logistics processes are managed in accordance with applicable standards and project requirements.
Production
Aluminium-clad steel core wire is prepared to the specified class before hard-drawn 1350-H19 aluminium wires are concentrically stranded around it.
Inspection
Inspection verifies core dimensions, aluminium-cover condition, strand count, wire diameters, finished diameter and the values required by the selected catalogue table.
Packaging
The conductor is wound and protected to prevent kinks, strand displacement or damage that could expose the steel beneath the aluminium covering.
Shipping
Drum marks and shipment documents identify the exact standard, conductor code, core construction and supplied length for traceability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What problem is the aluminium-clad steel core intended to address?
It replaces the conventional coated-steel core surface with aluminium while retaining steel reinforcement. This changes the core’s corrosion interface and electrical contribution and may suit projects that specify an AW core.
Is ACSR/AW the same product as ACSR/TW?
No. ACSR/AW changes the core material system; its outer aluminium wires remain round. ACSR/TW changes the aluminium strand geometry to trapezoidal wire and may use several approved core options.
Which ASTM standard applies to ACSR/AW construction data?
ASTM B549 covers concentric-lay aluminium conductors reinforced with aluminium-clad steel. The exact edition and all component-wire references should be confirmed in the purchase specification.
Can an ACSR dead-end be reused on ACSR/AW of the same nominal area?
Not without approval. Core material, strand construction, diameter, rated strength and compression sequence may differ. The fitting supplier should verify the complete conductor designation.
What corrosion details should be provided for an ACSR/AW enquiry?
Describe marine salt, industrial pollution, moisture, temperature, existing conductor and hardware materials and any specified greasing. Corrosion performance must be reviewed as a complete line system.
What should be confirmed before approving an ACSR/AW data sheet?
Confirm the standard, aluminium wire, aluminium-clad steel grade, strand counts and diameters, mass, resistance, rated strength, grease, fittings, tests, drum length and installation requirements.
