This conductor consists of a solid or
stranded steel core surrounded by strands of aluminium (E.C. GRADE). ACSR
Conductors is available in a wide range of steel varying from as low as 6% to as
high as 40 %.
The higher strength ACSR
Conductors are used
for river crossings, overhead ground wires, installations involving extra long
spans etc.. against any given resistance of conductor, ACSR Conductor may be manufactured for having a wide range of
tensile strength as per requirement.
The principal advantage
of these conductors are high tensile strength and light weight with longer spans
as well as with lesser supports. Due to the greater diameter of ACSR
Conductors a much
higher corona limit can be obtained causing big advantages on high as well as
extra high voltage overhead lines.
