Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
All Aluminum Conductor (AAC)
Applications
The bare aluminum and ACSR conductors described here are suitable for installation in all practical spans on transmission towers, wood poles and other structures, ranging from long distance EHV transmission lines to sub-service spans at distribution or utilization voltages on private premises.
The choice of conductor size, type and strength should take into account factors such as electrical load, voltage regulation, corona losses, ice and wind loading, extreme temperatures and vibration. Nexans is prepared to assist in the evaluation of these factors as they apply to specific installations.
