ACSR conductor consists of a solid or stranded steel core surrounded by strands of aluminum.It is available in a wide range of steel,containing carbon from 0.5% to 0.85 %.The higher strength ACSR Conductor are used for river crossings, overhead ground wires,installations involving extra long spans etc.

  Against any gíven resistance of conductor, ACSR may be manufactured for having a wide range of tensile strength as per requirement.

1.Scope
  This specification covers concentric-lay-stranded conductors, made from round aluminum-alloy 6201-T81 (hard:solution heat-treated, cold worked, and then artificially aged) wires, for use for electrical purposes. These conductors shall be constructed with a central core surrounded by one or more layers of helically laid wire.
2.Construction
  Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) is concentrically stranded conductor with one or more layers of hard drawn 1350-H19 aluminium wire on galvanized steel wire core.Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the core or infusion of the completed conductor with grease.
