ACSR/AW Drake Conductor
Drake is one of the world's most-specified heavy ASTM codes: a 26/7 construction of about 468 mm² for high-capacity transmission lines. The build offered in the catalogue is the aluminium-clad-steel-core version (ACSR/AW to ASTM B549).

At Drake's size the numbers get serious — over 1,500 kg/km and a 136 kN rated strength — and choosing the AW core removes core corrosion from the long-term equation. The full specification below is quoted directly from the factory catalogue.
