Application of ACSR AL/ST 35mm2/6mm2
ACSR conductors are widely used for electrical power transmission over long distances,
since they are ideal for long overhead lines spans. They are also used as a messenger for
supporting overhead electrical cables.
Standard of ACSR AL/ST 35mm2/6mm2
Basic design to BS 215-2 / BS EN 50182 / IEC 61089 / ASTM B 232/B 232M / DIN 48204 /
JIS C 3110 standards
Construction of ACSR AL/ST 35mm2/6mm2
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. Galvanized steel core consist normally
of 1, 7 or 19 wires. The diameters of steel and aluminium wires can be the same, or
different.
By varying the relative proportions of aluminium and steel, the required characteristics for
any particular application can be reached. A higher U. T. S. Can be obtained, by increasing
steel content, and a higher current carrying capacity by increasing aluminium content.
