Spotlight product: Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)

Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) is concentrically stranded conductor with one or more layers of hard drawn 1350-H19 aluminium wire on galvanized steel wire core. The core can be single wire or stranded depending on the size. Steel core wire is available in Class A , B or Class C galvanization for corrosion protection. Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or infusion of the completed conductor with grease.

The proportion of steel and aluminium in an ACSR conductor can be selected based on the mechanical strength and current carrying capacity demanded by each application.

ACSR conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favourable strength / weight ratio. ACSR conductors combine the light weight and good conductivity of aluminium with the high tensile strength and ruggedness of steel. In line design, this can provide higher tensions, less sag, and longer span lengths than obtainable with most other types of overhead conductors.

Midal manufacture and supply ACSR on Non-Returnable wooden/steel reels or Returnable steel reels depending on customer requirement.

About the company

Midal Cables Limited was established in 1977 conceived between Intersteel, Bahrain and Olex Cables, Australia to manufacture aluminum rod and overhead electrical transmission cables, conductors. Since then, the company has developed into a significant player in the aluminum and electrical transmission industry in Kingdom of Bahrain. Its growth has contributed to the industrialization of Bahrain and Gulf countries while promoting a national skilled workforce within the company. Midal supplies the world market with rod cast from the molten aluminum delivered directly from Aluminium Bahrain (ALBA) smelter adjacent to its manufacturing plant. The liquid aluminum is exceptionally pure which allows Midal to cast rod and further production of wires an exceptionally high conductivity in various grades of transmission cables. Midal's EC grade and 6201 alloy rod are sold around the world as well as being used in-house to manufacture a full range of overhead electrical conductors and aluminum wires.
