Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)

Steel - cored aluminium stranded wire, it could also be described as ACSR Conductor or ACSR Aluminium Conductor or acsr aluminium conductor steel reinforced etc.. Steel - cored aluminium stranded wire has the same structure as the aluminum conductor alloy reinforced (ACAR) , except that the aluminum wires outside the steel core have been changed to alloy wires . ACSR aluminium conductor steel reinforced mainly used to transmit electricity in overhead transmission lines. And the aluminium steel reinforced conductor(ACSR) is made of twisted aluminum wire and steel wire. Among them, the steel core mainly plays the role of increasing strength, and the aluminum wire mainly plays the role of conveying electric energy. ACSR Aluminium Conductors mainly has ASTM standards (such as ACSR Raven conductor, ACSR Cardinal conductor etc. ), BS standards (such as ACSR Rabbit conductor , ACSR Fox Conductor etc.), IEC standards ( Such as ACSR 100mm2, ACSR120mm2 etc.), DIN standards( such as ACSR 120/20mm2, ACSR 150/25mm2 etc.), CSA standards( such as ACSR Ostrich conductor, ACSR Hawk conductor etc.)  and other production standards. Because of its low comprehensive cost, large transmission capacity, small power loss and other characteristics, acsr aluminum conductor steel reinforced has become the most commonly used material for overhead wire.

Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Advantages

01.
Durability

The aluminum conductor steel reinforced is strong, durable and economical, making them an ideal choice for many industries.

02.
Strength

The aluminium conductor steel reinforced is widely used in overhead power transmission and distribution lines due to their high strength to weight ratio.

03.
Resistance

The acsr wire is resistant to corrosion and provide excellent electrical conductivity.

04.
High-quality Material

The professional acsr wire manufacturer provides complete solutions for ACSR wire and cable projects with the highest quality materials.


Why Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Are Used in Transmission and Distribution Systems?


Aluminium conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cables are used in transmission and distribution systems due to their strength and durability. They are produced by a low-cost acsr cable manufacturer, making them an economical choice for long-distance transmission and distribution networks. The steel core also helps to improve the overall strength and flexibility of the cable, allowing for even weight distribution and easy installation. The aluminium steel reinforced conductor is also corrosion-resistant and require minimal maintenance, making them a reliable option for outdoor power distribution.




Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Common Problems and Their Solutions

Aluminium conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cables are manufactured by specialist acsr cable manufacturers and are used in various electrical applications. Common problems with aluminium steel reinforced conductor include increased electrical resistance due to corrosion, abrasion and other environmental factors. Solutions to these problems include regular inspection of the cables, improved sealing and insulation, and the use of corrosion-resistant steel. Additionally, using specialized coatings and insulation materials can help reduce electrical resistance and ensure long service life.




What are the components of ACSR?

Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced ACSR conductor is made of twisted aluminum wire wrapped around a galvanized steel core. The galvanized steel core used for ACSR conductor is  zinc-coated steel , at the same time , the steel core is also divided into different types. The thickness of zinc layer and the breaking load of steel core  required by different production standards are different. As for the aluminum wires , diffierent size ACSR Conductor , the number of aluminum wires and the diameter of single strand are different .
