Brief Description
Aluminium Conductors Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) are engineered overhead conductors designed to achieve an optimal balance between electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. By using high-strength aluminium alloy strands in both the conductor and reinforcing elements, ACAR delivers enhanced performance in transmission and distribution applications where improved sag control, durability, and reliability are essential.
ACAR conductors are widely adopted in Latin America and other global markets due to their robust performance, effective current transmission characteristics, and adaptability across diverse environmental conditions.
