ACSR

ACSR has a long service record due to its economy, dependability, and strength to weight ratio. The combined light weight and high conductivity of aluminium with strength of the steel core enables higher tensions, less sag, and longer spans than any alternative. ACSR is suitable for use in all practical spans on wood poles, transmission towers, and other structures. ACSR conductors are formed by several wires of aluminium and galvanized steel, stranded in concentric layers. The wire or wires which form the core, are made of galvanized steel and the external layer or layers, are of aluminium.
