ASTM B549 Quail/AW ACSR Conductor – 133.1 MCM (2/0 AWG) Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced for Overhead Lines

ASTM B549 Quail/AW ACSR Conductor – 133.1 MCM (2/0 AWG) Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced for Overhead Lines

Specafication:

Standard:

ACSR Bare conductor meets or exceeds the following specifications:

• IEC 61089 Round wire concentric lay overhead electrical stranded conductors

• AS 3607 Conductors - Bare overhead - Aluminium and aluminium alloy-Steel reinforced

• ASTM B 232 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced

• BS EN 50182 Conductors for overhead lines — Round wire concentric lay stranded conductors

• GB 1179 Round wire concentric lay overhead electrical stranded conductors

Note:We also can produce based on other international standards, such as IEC,ASTM etc.

Features:

1. Standard Quail Size – 133.1 MCM (2/0 AWG) provides a well‑established current rating and sag characteristic for predictable line design.

2. ASTM B549 Compliance – Guarantees precise stranding, wire diameters, and aluminum cladding thickness as specified by the American standard.

3. Aluminum-Clad Steel Core – The steel reinforcement is entirely encapsulated in aluminum, preventing rust creepage and eliminating bimetallic corrosion.

4. Reduced AC Losses – The non‑magnetic aluminum cladding lowers hysteresis and eddy current losses compared to ordinary galvanized steel core designs.

5. Quail Stranding Pattern – The specific layer arrangement ensures a smooth outer surface, reducing wind noise and corona discharge on overhead lines.

Applications:

1. Overhead Primary Distribution – Suitable for 5kV to 35kV class lines in suburban and industrial zones.

2. Coastal Utility Networks – Ideal for seaside installations where salt spray rapidly degrades conventional galvanized ACSR.

3. Rural Secondary Feeders – Connecting small transformer stations to clusters of farms or rural businesses.

4. Wind-Prone Areas – The Quail conductor’s strength and light weight allow longer spans between poles in open terrain.

5. Upgrading Existing Lines – Direct replacement for older 2/0 copper or ACSR conductors to increase corrosion resistance without changing hardware.
