CSA Standard ACSR Partridge Overhead Conductors Steel Core Aluminium Cable
1. Applications of ACSR Conductor
Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.
2. Construction of ACSR Conductor
ACSR is composed by concentric-lay-stranded galvanized steel wires and aluminium wires.
3. Advantage of ACSR Conductor
a. Excellent electric and mechanical characteristics.
b. Good conductivity; Resistance to chemical corrosion, heat-aging, and environment stress.
c. Unit volume light; Simple in structure.
d. Conveniently to use.
4. Characters of ACSR Conductor
a. Under the same weight, the ACSR aluminium conductor is lower than the copper conductor;
b. In order to prevent corrosion, the anti-corrision grease can be fully or partially applied to ACSR;
c. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design.Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.
