Aluminum tie wire is a soft solid aluminum wire that is used in overhead transmission and distribution line construction to mechanically secure components such as conductors to pin insulators. The wire is also used for above-ground grounding applications in line construction. Aluminum tie wire is a solid annealed (soft) aluminum wire manufactured to CSA C49.3 “O” tensile grade and wire diameter dimension.

TransPowr® ACSR/TW is a trapezoidal aluminum conductor steel-reinforced concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape. The wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable a more compact alignment of the aluminum wires. Conductor designs that maintain the same circular mil crosssectional area of aluminum as a conventional round conductor result in a TW conductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller in overall diameter. Conductor designs that maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round conductor result in a TW conductor that has 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in. The ACSR/TW conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of ASTM B779. The steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded two, three or four layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. The steel core may consist of a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19 or more wires. Numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible. The sizes and constructions listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. For ACSR/TW conductors, the standard Class A galvanized coating is usually adequate for ordinary environments.

Smooth Body bare all-aluminum 1350 (A1 or ASC) are compact concentric-lay-stranded conductors consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically around a straight round central wire. Smooth Body conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of CSA C49.5. A1 or ASC (Aluminum Stranded Conductor) are CSA reference terms. The Canadian constructions are similar in design (strand component size and configuration) to the ASTM B400 specification. Differences lie in the methods used to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance values. The commonly used strandings are 7, 18, and 19. The sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.
