Cable ACSR Merlin 336.4MCM
What is ACSR Merlin cable 336.4 MCM?
ACSR cable Merlin 336.4MCM is a type of cable used in electrical power transmission and distribution applications.
1350-H19 Aluminum Wires, concentrically wound around a steel core. The standard core wire for the ACSR is class A galvanized. Class A core winding with zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating is also available.
ACSR: Means “Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced” . This type of cable is made up of aluminum conductors surrounded by a central steel core., which provides mechanical strength and durability to the cable.
Merlin: It is the specific name of the cable design and configuration.
336.4MCM: Indicates the wire gauge according to the American Wire Gauge scale (AWG)

Merlin 336.4MCM Applications
The wire 336.4 Merlin ACSR is suitable for use in all practical spans on timber posts, transmission towers and other structures. Its applications range from very high voltage transmission lines to sub-service sections at distribution voltages or use on private properties..
ACSR driver has a long service history due to its economy, reliability and strength-to-weight ratio. The combination of light weight and high conductivity of aluminum with the strength of the steel core allows for higher voltages, Less buckling and longer spans than any other alternative.
