STER-ACSR

Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced (ACSR), also known as Bare aluminium conductors, are one of the most widely used conductors for transmission. The conductor consists of one or more layers of aluminium wires stranded over a high strength steel core that can be single or multiple strands depending on the requirement. There can be various stranding combinations of Al and steel wires lending flexibility to obtain suitable current carrying capacity and mechanical strength for the application

APPLICATION

Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced - STER - ACSR™

Overhead T&D lines-MV, HV & EHV (11 kV to 800 kV Lines).

ADVANTAGE

Its low weight combined with high tensile strength allows larger span runs. Electrical losses by corona effect are greatly reduced, due to the larger diameter size. Economical transmission and distribution of electrical energy can be achieved by ACSR, at very high voltages and distances.
