High-strength Lightweight Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Acsr Cable Application: Industrial

A form of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor commonly used in overhead power lines is aluminum conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR). High-purity aluminum was used for the outer strands because of its good conductivity, lightweight, low price, resistance to corrosion, and respectable mechanical stress resistance. Aluminum's lightweight and good conductivity are combined with steel's high tensile strength and toughness to create ACSR conductors. This allows for longer span lengths, lower sag, and higher tensions in line design than are possible with the majority of other forms of overhead conductors. As primary and secondary distribution cable as well as bare overhead transmission, ACSR conductor, or aluminum conductor steel reinforced Due to its durability, ACSR can be used in all practical spans on wood poles, transmission towers, and other structures.
