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.
