ACSR BS 215-2–Aluminum Conductors Steel Reinforced

Description of ACSR BS 215-2

‌Conductor Design‌:Constructed by concentric stranding of aluminum layer (1350-H19 aluminum) and

steel core (galvanized steel wire or aluminum-clad steel core). The steel core coating types include G1A

(A-grade galvanized), G2A (B-grade galvanized), etc. to meet different environmental requirements. ‌

‌Key Parameters‌:Nominal cross-sectional area covers ‌50–200 mm²‌, such as ‌50mm² (RABBIT), 100mm²

(DOG), 150mm² (WOLF), etc., corresponding to different outer diameters (10.05–21.00 mm), weights

(214–974 kg/km) and breaking loads (18.35–692.25 kN). ‌

Material and manufacturing standards‌:The purity of aluminum must comply with the ‌IEC 61089‌

specification.
