What is an ACSR conductor and why is it so widely used?

2025-08-09
ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) is the most common type of conductor used for overhead transmission lines. It's an innovative composite cable featuring a central core of high-strength steel wires surrounded by multiple layers of aluminum. This design cleverly combines the high conductivity and low weight of aluminum with the immense tensile strength of steel. This combination allows for longer spans between towers, reduces sag, and provides the durability needed to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it an extremely reliable and cost-effective solution for power projects worldwide. Our company supplies the specialized tension stringing equipment and tools required for the safe and efficient installation of these conductors.
