556.5 MCM Parakeet ACSR AW Aluminum Conductor Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced Bare Cable

556.5 MCM Parakeet ACSR AW Aluminum Conductor Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced Bare Cable

Applications:

Used as bare overhead transmission and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR/AW offers strength characteristics similar to ACSR, along with slightly greater ampacity and resistance to corrosion due to aluminum-cladding of the steel core wires.
