Abstract :
This paper presents experimental results on the recycling aluminum wire used in the actual field. Several tests were carried out with the recycled aluminum wires to prove that they are reusable. Mechanical, electrical and oxidation properties of recycled and new ACSR 160 mm2 were compared after 7.5 years service aging in the salt contaminated areas of the Korean peninsular
