Are you on a mobile device? Ampacity charts for aluminum conductor steel-reinforced cable are pretty easy to find but most of them appear to be PDFs, like this one:

https://www.prioritywire.com/specs/acsr.pdf

Cables in that table are rated for between 105 to 1,751 amps under these conditions:

"Current ratings based on 75˚C conductor temperature, 25˚C ambient temperature, emissivity 0.5, 2ft/sec wind in sun"
