Description

Description

Standards

  • Product
    ASTM B 230; ASTM B 398

Application

ACAR CENTELSA by Nexans cables are used in overhead power transmission and distribution networks. Their good breaking load-to-weight ratio makes ACAR cables suitable for long-span transmission systems.

Note: Any other application or use not described above is considered prohibited.

Construction

1350 H19 aluminum wires stranded over a concentric conductor of 6201 T81 aluminum alloy wires.

Most ACAR cable constructions have a 6201 aluminum alloy core; in some configurations, the 6201 aluminum alloy wires are arranged in layers, combined with 1350 H19 aluminum wires.

Applicable Standards

  • ASTM B398, NTC 2729
  • ASTM B230, NTC 360
  • ASTM B524, NTC 6065 

Certificate

RETIE  N°01207 

Ampacity Conditions

  • Current capacity at ambient temperature 25°C, conductor temperature 75°C, solar emission 1kW/m², absorption and emissivity coefficients 0.5, wind speed 610 mm/sec, at sea level and at 60 Hz.
  • Short circuit current for one (1.0) second, at initial temperature of 75°C and final temperature of 340°C.

NOTE:

  • The data reported here are nominal and are subject to tolerances according to standards and normal manufacturing practices.
  • Other configurations not specified in this catalog may be available under special request and minimum manufacturing quantitie
