Aluminium Clad Steel Wires

Introduction

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.

Advantages of ACS wire

Aluminium-clad steel (ACS) wire is superior to galvanized or aluminized steel in every way.

    Enhancing Electrical Power Transmission: The Director's Insight on Aluminum-Clad Steel (ACS) Wire in Overhead Transmission Lines"

    Understanding Overhead Transmission

    Overhead transmission lines, supported by towers or poles, form a network of conductors transmitting power from generating stations to distribution points or consumers. Key components include conductors, insulators, towers, and grounding systems, with the conductor playing a crucial role in system efficiency.

    Efficiency and Conductivity of ACS Wire

    The choice of conductor material significantly impacts overhead transmission line efficiency. The global overhead conductor market, where ACS wire plays a significant role, was valued at around $ 22.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $ 35.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.6 percent. ACS wire, featuring a steel core coated with aluminum, combines steel's strength with aluminum's conductivity, markedly improving power transmission efficiency.
