1. APPLICATION OF ACSR

1). widely used in power transmission lines with various voltage levels,due to such good

characteristics as simple structure,convenient installation and maintenance,low cost large transmission capacity.

2). suitable for laying across rivers valleys and the places where special geographical features exist.

2. PROPERTY OF ACSR

1). can be manufactured to different strengths by requirement.

2). constructed from a solid/stranded steel core, surrounded by aluminium stranding.The steel core is strong yet ductile, while the outer stranding of aluminium gives excellent conductivity with a low weight and low cost.

3). available in a range of steel strengths from as little as 6% up to 40%.

The stronger the steel percentage, the more arduous tasks it can take on;

the highest strength conductors are used as overhead wires, for river crossings, and any installations which require a particularly long span without support.

4).has the double benefit that as well as being high strength, it is also lightweight.

5).has a higher diameter than AAC and AAAC due to their steel core, and due to this they can obtain a higher corona limit, giving the advantage for high voltage overhead lines.

6).used for local distribution, suspended from wooden poles or other alternative methods.
