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 are used for river crossings, overhead ground wires, installations involving extra long spans etc. Against any given resistance of conductor, ACSR may be manufactured for having a wide range of tensile strength as per requirement. The principal advantage of these conductors are high tensile strength so that they are used for longer spans with less 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 Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Details


ACSR Conductor Construction

Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) is 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 infusion of the completed conductor with grease.


ACSR Conductor Features

  • Has better conduct performance, excellent tensile

  • strength and good mechanic property.

  • Long life service time, safe and reliable, easy maintenance
