ACSR Rail Bare Conductor ASTM B232

ACSR Rail Bare Conductor ASTM B232

Product name

Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced  ACSR wire  ACSR conductor  or  ACSR bare conductor

Applications 
ACSR is a composite conductor consisting of seven or more aluminium and galvanized steel wires built up in concentric-lay-stranded layers. 

Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR provides optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity. 

Suitable For

• Transmission lines
• River crossings
• Other installations

Service Performance

 

• (1).The permissible long-time operating temperature for aerial conductor is 70^oC.

• (2).Under the circumstance that rare climate is occuring and ice coverage rate low in heavy ice area,the biggest stress of cable at the lowest point of the sag should not exceed 60% of the short-time destructive power.

• (3).When connecting conductors,the conductor beside the connecting tube cant be prominent.Otherwise,the force on the operating conductors will be unbalanced.After connectors are install,the connecting tube should be painted by moisture-proof varnish in order to protect it from corrosion.

• (4).Under installaion,the arc downing stress of all the conductors should be the same.With in the permissible distance of crossing buildings or dropping to the ground,the stress can be 10-15% higher than regular stress.
