The correct conductor choice is paramount for the safety, reliability, and economic viability of a power line project.

• Sag and Tension: The weight and strength of the conductor directly impact the sag and tension of the line. Using the wrong conductor can lead to insufficient ground clearance (too much sag) or excessive tension, which can damage the conductor and towers.

• Cost Efficiency: The choice of conductor influences the number of towers needed. A stronger conductor (like ACSR) can be strung over longer spans, reducing the number of towers and the overall project cost.

• Environmental Factors: For corrosive environments (e.g., coastal areas), a conductor like AAAC with high corrosion resistance is essential for longevity.

By understanding these distinctions, professionals can make informed decisions. Ningbo Changshi is a one-stop supplier of the specialized tools and equipment required to handle all types of OHTL conductors, from the lightweight AAC to the high-strength ACSR.
