ACSR cable (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced)
1). Standard: IEC61089, BS215 part2, ASTM B232, DIN48204, BS EN50182
2). Specification: ACSR cable is composed by bare concentric-lay-stranded galvanized steel wire(s) with aluminum wires surrounded by one or more layers of helically. Greased ACSR can also be supplied.
3). Application: ACSR cable is widely used in overhead electric power transmission and distribution lines with various voltage levels.
DescriptionACSR is a composite conductor consisting of seven or more aluminium and galvanized steel wires built up in concentric-lay-stranded layers. The centre core is of galvanized steel and outer layer or layers of aluminium. The steel core may be single wire or stranded wires depending on the size.When required, the interstices of the inner layers can be filled by grease compound which is more suitable for the operating conditions of the conductor.
ApplicationACSR is widely used in overhead electric power transmission and distribution lines with various voltage levels. ACSR provides optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.
