// Aluminium Conductor Aluminium Clad Steel- Reinforced (ACSR/AS)
Description
ACSR/AS is identical to conventional ACSR with only difference in the core where AS wires are substituted for galvanized steel wires.
Standard
BS 215 part 2, ASTM B549 and other International Specifications. The requirement/specifications given by the purchaser are also taken care of.
Characteristics
Reduced power loss.
High Corrosion resistance.
Less weight.
Higher weight to strength ratios.
Application
Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AS) can be used in Medium, High and Extra-High voltage transmission lines; also used for earth wires. In comparison with ACSR conductors, (ACSR/AS) conductors have considerable technical and economical advantages in overhead lines. Its lower weight combined with its higher current carrying capacity and corrosion protection provide a longer life cycle, reduction in energy losses and significant cost saving during the operation of the line.
