ACSR conductors are a perfect example of engineering innovation, combining the best properties of two materials. An ACSR conductor consists of a central steel core for strength, surrounded by outer strands of aluminum for conductivity.

This composite design provides several key advantages:

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The steel core provides exceptional mechanical strength, allowing for longer spans and reducing the number of support towers required.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Using aluminum for the conducting part of the cable is much cheaper than using copper.

• Excellent Conductivity: While not as conductive as copper, aluminum's conductivity is more than sufficient for high-voltage transmission, especially when a larger diameter is used, which helps reduce the corona effect.
