Bare conductor wire ACSR
Widely used in power transmission lines, and also used in power lines across greatrivers, havey ice area, etc. ACSR conductor

Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced(saying ACSR conductor)

Construction

The mixed construction of ACSR makes it a very flexible medium from a desigh point of view. By varying the relative proportins of aluminium and steel the ideal conductor for any particular application can be produced.

Generally, ACSR consists of a galvanized steel core of 1 wire, 7 wires or 19 wires surrounded by concentric layers of aluminium wire.

When a conductor with a high current carrying capacity and comparatrively low strengh is required, special constructions are available with a high aluminium content.

Protection against Corrosion

A coating of non-oxidizing grease is normally applied to the steel cores of all conductors, in addition to the protection offered by the galvanizing of the steel wires. One or more layers of the aluminium wires can, if required, be supplied partially or fully greased.
