Durable 9.8mm ACSR Conductors for Overhead Lines

ACSR conductors (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) are the most common type of overhead conductor used for power transmission and distribution. They are made of a steel core surrounded by a layer of aluminum wires. The steel core provides strength, while the aluminum wires provide conductivity.

Description

Durable ACSR Conductors

Benefits of ACSR Conductors

  • High strength: They have a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for long-span applications.
  • Good conductivity: ACSR conductors have good conductivity, which allows them to efficiently transmit electricity.
  • Corrosion resistance: They are resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.
  • Low cost: ACSR conductors are relatively inexpensive, making them a cost-effective choice for overhead lines.

Applications of ACSR Conductor

They are used in a variety of applications, including:

  • Power transmission lines
  • Distribution lines
  • Substation buswork
  • Guy wires
  • Grounding conductors
