ACSR 1/0 AWG Raven Overhead Conductor Cable

ACSR 1/0 AWG Raven Overhead Conductor (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) is a precision‑engineered bare overhead power conductor, designed for reliable medium‑voltage distribution, rural electrification, and utility grid upgrades. It follows the industry‑standard 6/1 stranding configuration (6 outer aluminum wires concentrically stranded around 1 central galvanized steel core), combining the high electrical conductivity of 1350‑H19 hard‑drawn aluminum with the exceptional tensile strength and sag resistance of steel.

Manufactured strictly to ASTM B232 (ACSR), ASTM B230 (1350‑H19 aluminum wire), and ASTM B231 (concentric lay stranded conductors) standards, every strand and layer is controlled for dimensional accuracy, lay length, and mechanical tension. The 1350‑H19 aluminum offers 61% IACS conductivity, low electrical resistance, and natural atmospheric corrosion resistance; the Class A hot‑dip galvanized steel core provides structural rigidity, enabling higher line tension, reduced sag under wind/ice loads, and longer span lengths (up to 250m typical) without excessive deflection.

This conductor delivers stable electrical performance at operating temperatures up to 75°C, with a rated ampacity of 242 A, making it ideal for overhead primary/secondary distribution lines, substation feeders, and rural grid expansion projects where a balance of conductivity, strength, and cost efficiency is critical. No insulation is applied-optimized for exposed overhead installation on wood poles, steel towers, and utility structures.

FAQ

 

 

Q1: Is ACSR 1/0 AWG Raven suitable for high‑voltage transmission lines?

A: It is primarily designed for medium‑voltage distribution (11kV–35kV) and rural electrification. For EHV transmission (≥110kV), larger ACSR codes (e.g., Swan, Finch) with higher steel content are recommended.

Q2: What is the difference between Class A, B, and C galvanized steel cores?

A: Class A provides the thickest zinc coating (highest corrosion resistance) for coastal/industrial environments; Class B is standard for general inland use; Class C is for mild environments. We default to Class A for maximum durability.

Q3: Can I get ACSR/AW (aluminum‑clad steel core) version of Raven?

A: Yes. We offer ACSR/AW 1/0 AWG Raven with aluminum‑clad steel core for enhanced corrosion resistance in highly corrosive areas (coastal, chemical plants)-contact us for specs and pricing.

Q4: What is the maximum recommended span length for this conductor?

A: Typical maximum span is 200–250m under standard wind/ice loads (50mph wind, 0.5in ice). Exact span depends on line tension, pole height, and local weather codes-we provide free sag‑tension calculations for your project.

Q5: What packaging and minimum order quantity (MOQ) apply?

A: Standard packaging: wooden drums (1000m–3000m per drum). MOQ: 1 drum (≈1000m). We accept FCL/LCL orders and offer custom drum lengths for project requirements.
