Cable ACSR Penguin 4/0AWG
What is ACSR Penguin 4/0AWG cable?
ACSR Penguin 4/0AWG cable is a specific type of cable used in electrical transmission systems.
ACSR: “Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced”, It is a type of cable that uses a central steel core on which one or more aluminum conductors are wound.. This combination provides both electrical conductivity and mechanical resistance.
Penguin: This is the specific name of the cable design. Animal names are commonly used to classify different conductor configurations in ACSR cables..
4/0AWG: This is the conductor gauge specification.
