Overhead bare conductors are essential components in power transmission and distribution systems worldwide. These conductors carry electricity across long distances without any insulation covering the metal wire. At ZD Cable, we manufacture high-quality bare conductors designed to meet the rigorous demands of power utilities, contractors, and government agencies operating in various climate conditions.
Our overhead bare conductors deliver reliable performance in challenging environments while offering excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. These products are specifically engineered for overhead power lines that form the backbone of electrical grids across continents.
The most commonly used overhead bare conductor in power transmission is the All Aluminum Conductor (AAC), which provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. For areas requiring higher strength, our All Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAAC) offers improved mechanical properties while maintaining good conductivity.
When greater strength is needed, especially for long spans or heavy loading conditions, Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) combines an aluminum outer layer with a steel core for superior tensile strength. Similarly, our Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) products balance conductivity and strength by using aluminum alloy reinforcement.
For environments with severe corrosion concerns, we offer Aluminum Conductor Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW) conductors that provide enhanced protection against rust and deterioration. These conductors ensure long service life even in coastal or industrial areas with corrosive atmospheres.
Our overhead bare conductors are manufactured in strict compliance with international standards, including:
