Description of A.C.S.R.
Bare aluminum conductors, especially in the form of Aluminum Conductors Steel Reinforced(ACSR), have been widely used for
overhead transmission lines as the most cost-effective and dependable product.
As the name implies, ACSR is a concentrically stranded conductor composed of one or more layers of hard-drawn EC grade
aluminum wires over a high strength coated steel core. The core may be single wire or stranded, depending on the size. Because
of the numerous stranding combinations of aluminum and steel wires that may be used, it is possible to vary the portions of
aluminum and steel so as to obtain the most suitable relation between current carrying capacity and mechanical strength for each
application.
For instance, a conductor having a small proportion of steel may be most economical for a wood pole line to transmit a large block
of power whereas a conductor with a very large proportion of steel would be required for a long span crossing over water. Between
these two extremes are the conductors with normal proportions of aluminum and steel generally used for the more conventional
transmission and distribution lines.

Anti-corrosion A.C.S.R.
Anti-corrosion ACSR is used in the corrosive areas like coastal areas or industrial zones. This ACSR is filled
with anti-corrosive grease applied on the gaps between stranded wires and their external surfaces.
Generally, anti-corrosion ACSR is divided into three types according to the method of greases coating :
Light Anti-corrosion Type : Only steel wires are coated
Medium Anti-corrosion Type : All the inner layers are coated
Heavy Anti-corrosion Type : All the inner and outer layers are coated

These sizes are specified in KS.

Remarks
1. The values of Table are those at 20 .
2. The values of calculated sectional area, outside diameter and weight are those for the standard diameters of individual wires. The electric
resistance is calculated for the standard diameter, by assuming the conductivity of the hard-drawn aluminum wires at 61% and neglecting
the galvanized steel wires.
3. The sectional area of hard-drawn copper stranded conductor with equivalent resistance is calculated by assuming the conductivity of the
hard-drawn copper wires at 97% and that of the hard-drawn aluminum wires for electric purposes at 61% and neglecting the length increase
by stranding.
4. The ratio of length increase by stranding to be used for calculating the weight and electric resistance shall be as follows :

by the number of aluminum component wires and tensile load of galvanized steel wire multiplied by the number of steel component wires.

ACSR/AW Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-clad Steel Reinforced


Application
Aluminum-clad steel

This standard covers aluminum stranded conductors aluminum-clad


steel reinforced which could withstand high tensile load to be used
mainly for overhead transmission lines, overhead distribution lines.

Construction
The center wire or wires are of aluminum-clad steel and the outer layer
or layers of aluminum.
Aluminum conductor

Standards
Conforms to ASTM B 549-93

Packing and Marking


The packing of the conductor is an intergral part of the manufacturing process, and the kind of package must be predetermined before
production can begin.
Unless otherwise specified or agreed with in case of order, ACSR shall be shipped on Taihan standard wooden reels having dimensions and
weights as given in the table shown below.
Taihan standard wooden reels shall have enough condition to stand against the ordinary handling in transportation and shipping and be found
ready and handy enough at the time of installation in site. Especially, in case that users require the metal reel, we can serve our standard metal
reels which have the same capacity as that of the wooden reel or special designed metal reels.
The reels will be stenciled legibly with following information; serial number, size and kind of conductor, length of conductor, and any other
indentification marks specified on the order by the purchaser.

Conversion Factors
1in= 25.4mm, 1cmil = 5.067 10-4 mm2, 1mil = 2.54 10-2 mm, 1 lb/1000ft = 1.488kg/km,
1ft = 3.048 10-1 m, 1lb =4.536 10-1 kg, 1in3 = 1.639 10-5 m3
The metric unit of force in SI(System International) units is the newton. (N), which is defined as that force which, when applied to a body having
a mass of 1kg, gives it an acceleration of 1m/s2.
The derived SI unit for pressure or stress is the newton per square meter(N/m2), which has been named the pascal(Pa) by the General
Conference of Weights and Measures. Since 1ksi=6894757Pa the metric equivalents are expressed as megapascal(MPa), which is the same as
Mn/m2 and N/mm2.
1ksi = 103psi
1psi = 6.9KPa
1ksi = 6.9MPa

1kgf/mm2 = 1.42ksi
