Case study: ACSR cables and Construction/ Electrical Transmission

1. Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines.

2. ACSR conductor or aluminium conductor steel reinforced is used as bare overhead transmission and as primary and secondary distribution cable.

3.ACSR is suitable for use in all practical spans on wood poles, transmission towers, and other structures because of its dependability and strength to weight ratio.

4. In the ACSR conductor design, the outside of this conductor can be made with pure aluminium material whereas the inside of the conductor is made with a steel material

5. The service life of the steel material used in the conductor can be extended by galvanizing or coating with another material. So that corrosion on the material can be prevented.
