ASC Bare Overhead Conductor

Conductor Bare all-aluminum 1350 (A1 or ASC) are concentric-lay-stranded conductors consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically
around a straight round central wire. Each successive layer has six wires more than the layer immediately beneath. Greater flexibility is provided by increasing the number of strands for a specific cross-sectional area.

Class AA strandings are used for bare overhead lines. The direction of lay of the outer layer is right-hand and is normally reversed in successive layers. The temper is full hard drawn (H19).

Class A strandings are used primarily for overhead conductors which are to be covered with weather resistant materials. Greater flexibility is provided than Class AA. The outer layer is right-hand and the temper is generally H19. Successive layers are normally reverse lay.
