Caledonian ACSR Cables

Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) Cables

Steel Reinforced Aluminum Conductor

APPLICATION

Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) Cables are used as overhead transmission and distribution lines medium, high and extra high voltage.

STANDARD

Basic design to BS 215-2 standard

SPECIFICATIONS

Caledonian's ACSR bare conductor cables in comparison with copper conductors, A. C. S. R. Conductors have considerable technical and economical advantages in overhead lines. Its low weight combined with its high tensile strength allow larger spans runs. Electrical losses by corona effect are greatly reduced, due to the larger diameter size of this design. Economical transmission and distribution of electrical energy can be achieved by ACSR, at very high voltages and distances.

CONSTRUCTION
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.
