ACS (Aluminium-Cladded Steel wire)
ACS, or Aluminium-Cladded Steel wire, is a conductor composed of an inner steel core and aluminium coating. Aluminium clad steel wire (ACS) wires are bimetallic wire with aluminium covered lines, covering the steel core continuously and evenly.
ACS wire is a critical component in the infrastructure of modern power transmission systems. Its combination of high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness makes it a preferred choice for utilities and engineers in the construction and maintenance of overhead power lines. By leveraging the advantages of both aluminum and steel, ACS wire ensures reliable and efficient transmission of electrical power across vast distances.
