ACSR
Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced

Conductor construction： concentrically stranded conductor with one or more layers of hard-drawn 1350-H19 aluminium wire on galvanized steel wire core.
Conductor applications： ACSR conductors are used for river crossings, overhead ground wires, installations involving extra-long spans, and other applications requiring high-strength bare conductor.
Combining high-purity aluminum with a galvanized steel core, our ACSR wire delivers exceptional tensile strength, corrosion resistance, long life service time, and long-span performance. Ideal for river crossings and high-voltage lines.

ACSR Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Details

What is ACSR Conductor?

ACSR conductor consists of a solid or stranded steel core surrounded by strands of aluminum. ACSR Conductor is available in a wide range of steel, containing carbon from 0.5% to 0.85 %. The higher strength ACSR Conductor is used for river crossings, overhead ground wires, installations involving extra-long spans, etc. Against any given resistance of conductor, ACSR may be manufactured to have a wide range of tensile strength as per the requirement. The principal advantage of these conductors is their high tensile strength, so that they are used for longer spans with fewer supports. Due to the greater diameter of ACSR Conductor, a much higher corona limit can be obtained, causing big advantages on high as well as extra high voltage Overhead lines.

ACSR Conductor Construction

Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) is a concentrically stranded conductor with one or more layers of hard-drawn 1350-H19 aluminium wire on galvanized steel wire core. The core can be single wire or stranded, depending on the size. Steel core wire is available in Class A, B, or Class C galvanization for corrosion protection. Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or the infusion of the completed conductor with grease.

ACSR Conductor Features

Has better conduct performance, excellent tensile
strength and good mechanical properties.
Long life service time, safe and reliable, easy maintenance

Types of ACSR Conductors

ACSR conductors come in various types, differing in strand configuration, Exhibits superior performance, excellent tensilesteel core galvanization class (Class A, B, C), aluminum alloy grade, and strand count.

By selecting the right type of ACSR conductor to match strength, span length, and environmental conditions, users can optimize both performance and cost-effectiveness.

Zetastone Cable, a professional ACSR conductor manufacturer, delivers high-quality and high-performance conductors.

Please check out the technical parameters of our ACSR conductors listed below.
