Cable ACSR Waxwing 266.8MCM
What is Waxwing 266.8MCM ACSR Cable ?
ACSR Waxwing 266.8MCM cable is a 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.
Waxwing: This is the specific name of the cable design. Bird names are commonly used to classify different conductor configurations in ACSR cables..
266.8MCM: This is the conductor gauge specification. “MCM” means “Circular Thousands Thousand” , “266.8” indicates a specific size of conductor.
