Product Introduction
High Strength Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced for Overhead Transmission Lines
Sitong Cable is a professional ACSR Wolf Conductor manufacturer and supplier in China, providing high-quality ACSR Conductor solutions for global overhead transmission and distribution projects.
Manufactured according to international standards such as BS 215 Part 2 and IEC 61089, ACSR Wolf Conductor combines excellent electrical conductivity with high mechanical strength. It is widely used for medium and high-capacity overhead transmission lines where longer spans, higher current capacity, and reliable performance are required.
What is ACSR Wolf Conductor?
ACSR Wolf Conductor is a type of bare overhead conductor consisting of aluminum strands and a galvanized steel reinforcing core.
The aluminum strands provide:
- High electrical conductivity
- Low transmission losses
- Excellent corrosion resistance
The galvanized steel core provides:
- Higher tensile strength
- Better sag control
- Improved mechanical stability
In the traditional BS 215 ACSR animal naming system, Wolf represents a larger conductor size compared with ACSR Rabbit Conductor and ACSR Dog Conductor, designed for higher-capacity overhead power transmission applications.
ACSR Wolf Conductor Construction
ACSR Wolf conductor normally consists of:
- EC Grade Aluminum 1350-H19 strands
- Galvanized steel core
- Concentric stranded construction
The aluminum wires are stranded around the steel core to achieve a balanced combination of electrical and mechanical performance.
Typical construction:
30 Aluminum Strands + 7 Steel Strands
