Jianyun Cable Expands Production of ACSR and Aluminum Conductors

Time: 2026-03-06 12:28:31 Source: Henan Province Jianyun Cable Co., Ltd.


Henan Province Jianyun Cable Co., Ltd. is proud to announce a major expansion of its production capacity for ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) and other aluminum-based overhead conductors. This strategic investment responds to surging global demand for reliable, high-performance conductors driven by rapid grid modernization, renewable energy integration, and infrastructure development worldwide. With enhanced facilities and upgraded equipment, Jianyun Cable strengthens its position as a trusted supplier of ACSR, AAC, AAAC, and advanced conductors for large-scale transmission projects.

1. Announcement: Capacity Expansion for ACSR and Aluminum Conductors

In early 2026, Jianyun Cable completed the installation of new high-speed stranding machines, continuous casting and rolling lines, and advanced quality testing systems at its Zhongxi Industrial Park facility in Yichuan County, Luoyang City, Henan Province. The expansion increases annual output of bare aluminum conductors by over 40%, with a particular focus on ACSR for extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission and AAC/AAAC for distribution and renewable evacuation lines.

2. Key Drivers Behind the Expansion

The decision aligns with strong market trends:

  • Global aluminum conductor demand growing at 4–7% CAGR through 2030, fueled by power infrastructure investments.
  • China's aluminum wire and cable exports surged 42.9% in 2025, reflecting overseas grid and renewable projects.
  • Rising need for ACSR in long-span EHV lines (220–765 kV+) and reconductoring to boost capacity without new towers.
  • Increasing adoption of lightweight, corrosion-resistant conductors in coastal, desert, and high-altitude environments.

3. Enhanced Production Capabilities

New investments include:

  • Additional continuous casting & rolling lines for EC-grade aluminum and alloy rods.
  • High-speed planetary stranding machines supporting larger cross-sections up to 1250 mm².
  • Automated galvanizing lines for steel cores with precise zinc coating control.
  • Expanded testing labs for routine tensile, conductivity, creep, sag simulation, and type tests.

These upgrades ensure faster lead times, greater flexibility for custom stranding, and consistent quality even at peak volumes.

4. Core Products in Expanded Lines

Conductor Type Key Standards Cross-Section Range Primary Applications Expansion Focus
ACSR IEC 61089, ASTM B232 16–1250 mm² Long-span EHV transmission, heavy ice/wind zones High – increased output for Moose, Zebra, Drake equivalents
AAC IEC 61089, ASTM B231 16–1000 mm² Urban distribution, coastal lines Medium – boosted for shorter-span renewable connections
AAAC (6201/1120 alloy) IEC 61089, ASTM B399 16–1000 mm² Corrosive environments, medium spans Growing – enhanced alloy production
ACSS / HTLS variants ASTM B856, IEC TS 62641 Custom up to 2000 kcmil Reconductoring, high-temperature lines Emerging – pilot lines for advanced cores

5. Commitment to Quality and International Standards

All expanded production adheres to:

  • IEC 61089, ASTM B232/B231/B399, EN 50182, BS 215, DIN 48204
  • ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management
  • Full traceability from rod to finished conductor
  • Routine tests: resistivity, tensile strength, elongation, galvanizing adhesion
  • Third-party witness testing and certification available

6. Supporting Global Market Growth

The expansion directly supports:

  • Renewable energy evacuation from solar/wind farms in Asia, Middle East, and Africa.
  • Grid upgrades and interconnectors in emerging markets.
  • Reconductoring projects to increase existing line capacity by 50–100%.
  • Export growth, building on China's strong 2025 performance in aluminum conductor shipments.

7. Benefits for Customers and Partners

  • Shorter lead times and higher volume availability
  • Competitive pricing through economies of scale
  • Technical support: sag-tension calculations, conductor selection guidance
  • Reliable supply chain for multi-thousand-ton contracts
  • Custom stranding and packaging for specific project needs


8. Looking Ahead: Powering the Future Grid

This production expansion underscores Jianyun Cable's dedication to meeting the world's accelerating need for efficient, durable overhead conductors. As power grids evolve to support electrification, renewables, and resilience, we remain committed to delivering ACSR and aluminum conductor solutions that utilities and EPC contractors can trust.
