TACSR conductors capable to work at high temperature without any loss of strength to carter high ampacity requirement. Used as bare overhead transmission conductor and as primary and secondary distribution conductor. TACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.

Basic design to IEC 62004 / IEC 61089 standard

TACSR conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength / weight ratio. ACSR conductors combine the light weight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength and ruggedness of steel. In line design, caledonian can provide higher tensions, less sag, and longer span lengths than obtainable with most other types of overhead conductors. The steel strands are added as mechanical reinforcements. The cross sections above illustrate some common stranding. The steel core wires are protected from corrosion by galvanizing. TACSR can be safely operated continuously above 150C enabling to pump more current through the conductor. Where there is a need to transmit higher power but restrictions on getting new power corridors approved, various types of TAL conductors are one of the best creative solution options to utilities.

at elevated temperatures makes these conductors a very cost effective solution in refurbishing the existing lines with enhanced capacity.
