ACSR Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced For Overhead Lines
ACSR Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced For Overhead Lines
Applications of Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced
ACSR or aluminum conductor steel reinforced, is used as bare overhead transmission and as primary and secondary disribution cable. 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.
Standards & References
Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
- B230 Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes
- B232 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
- B498 Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.
- B500 Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.

Service Performance:
(1). The permissible long-time operating temperature for aerial conductor is 70℃.
(2). Under the circumstance that rare climate is occurring and ice coverage rate low in heavy ice area, the biggest stress of cable at the lowest point of the sag should not exceed 60% of the short-time destructive power.
(3). When connecting conductors, the conductor beside the connecting tube cant be prominent. Otherwise, the force on the operating conductors will be unbalanced. After connectors are install, the connecting tube should be painted by moisture-proof varnish in order to protect it from corrosion.
(4). Under installation, the arc downing stress of all the conductors should be the same. With in the permissible distance of crossing buildings or dropping to the ground, the stress can be 10-15% higher than regular stress.
