4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable

4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable is designed for overhead power distribution systems requiring dependable electrical performance and enhanced mechanical strength. It is manufactured using concentrically stranded aluminum wires reinforced with a galvanized steel core, ensuring an effective balance between conductivity and tensile durability. The aluminum strands provide low electrical resistance and efficient current transfer, while the steel core improves load-bearing capacity, controls sag, and increases resistance to mechanical stress during installation and operation. This construction allows the 4 AWG SWANATE ACSR conductor to perform reliably under wind load, temperature variation, and outdoor environmental conditions. Produced in accordance with ASTM and IEC standards, the 4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable offers consistent quality, easy handling, and long service life. It is widely applied in utility distribution lines, rural electrification projects, and overhead network upgrades where stable performance and cost efficiency are required.

Quality Control

4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable
4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable  Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

The Raw Material Test is the first quality assurance step for the 4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable. Aluminum rods are tested for electrical conductivity, tensile strength, elongation, and chemical composition to ensure efficient power transmission. Galvanized steel core wires undergo tensile strength testing, zinc coating thickness measurement, and corrosion resistance evaluation. Surface condition, dimensional accuracy, and material traceability are strictly inspected. Only aluminum and steel materials that meet ASTM, IEC, and internal technical specifications are approved for production, ensuring the SWANATE ACSR conductor achieves stable electrical and mechanical performance from the initial manufacturing stage.

4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable Process inspection

Process inspection

Process Inspection controls manufacturing consistency throughout production of the 4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable. During wire drawing, aluminum and steel wires are continuously monitored for diameter tolerance and surface smoothness. In the stranding process, aluminum layers are helically applied over the steel core with controlled lay length and balanced tension. In-process inspections verify strand alignment, concentricity, compactness, and overall roundness. These checks ensure uniform conductor structure, consistent conductivity, and reliable mechanical strength before final testing.

4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable Finished Product

Finished Product

The Finished Product Test verifies the final quality of the 4 AWG SWANATE ACSR Conductor Cable. Electrical resistance testing confirms compliance with conductivity requirements. Tensile strength and elongation tests validate mechanical reliability under specified load conditions. Final inspections include dimensional measurement, visual examination of stranding and surface finish, marking verification, and packaging integrity checks, ensuring the conductor is ready for transportation and installation.

Application

Suitable for overhead distribution systems, utility grids, rural electrification projects, and medium-load power networks requiring durable ACSR conductors.

FAQ From Customers

What are the advantages of power cables and overhead lines?
(1) Reliable operation, because it is installed in a hidden place such as underground, it is less damaged by external forces, has less chance of failure, and the power supply is safe, and it will not cause harm to people;
(2) The maintenance workload is small and frequent inspections are not required;
(3) No need to erect towers;
(4) Help improve power factor.
Which aspects should be considered when choosing the cross section of a power cable?
(1) The long-term allowable working current of the cable;
(2) Thermal stability once short circuited;
(3) The voltage drop on the line cannot exceed the allowable working range.
What are the measures for cable fire prevention?
(1) Use flame-retardant cables;
(2) Use fireproof cable tray;
(3) Use fireproof paint;
(4) Fire partition walls and fire baffles are installed at cable tunnels, mezzanine exits, etc.;
(5) Overhead cables should avoid oil pipelines and explosion-proof doors, otherwise local pipes or heat insulation and fire prevention measures should be taken.
What should be paid attention to during the transportation and handling of cables?
(1) During transportation, loading and unloading, cables and cable reels should not be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to push the cable reels directly from the vehicle. Generally, cables should not be transported and stored flat.

What inspections should be carried out for the acceptance of cable lines?
(1) The cable specifications should meet the regulations, the arrangement should be neat, no damage, and the signs should be complete, correct and clear;
(2) The fixed bending radius of the cable, the related distance and the wiring of the metal sheath of the single-core power cable should meet the requirements;
(3) The cable terminal and the middle head should not leak oil, and the installation should be firm. The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable and the meter setting should meet the requirements;
(4) Good grounding;
(5) The color of the cable terminal is correct, and the metal parts such as the bracket are completely painted;
(6) There should be no debris in the cable trench, tunnel, and bridge, and the cover should be complete.
