Cable ACSR Swallow 3AWG
What is ACSR Swallow 3AWG Cable?
Cable ACSR Swallow 3AWG It is a type of cable used in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Its structure combines aluminum conductors with a central steel core, providing mechanical resistance and high electrical conductivity. The term “Swallow” refers to the specific design of the cable. 3AWG gauge indicates its size, being thicker than higher gauge wires. This cable is mainly used in high voltage transmission lines and electrical distribution networks., where high load capacity and tensile strength are required. It is ideal for applications ranging from long-distance power transmission to distribution in urban and rural areas.. The combination of aluminum and steel in its structure makes it suitable to withstand adverse weather conditions and ensure efficient and reliable transmission of electricity..
