Key Benefits

Combining aluminium current capacity with mechanical steel strength.

ACSR conductors are bimetallic stranded conductors used where transmission and distribution lines need a strong balance of current capacity, mechanical strength, and span performance.

High tensile strength

Steel reinforcement supports longer spans and demanding route conditions.

Efficient current carrying

Aluminium outer strands provide conductivity with manageable conductor weight.

Flexible design

Aluminium-to-steel proportions can be selected for the project requirement.

EHV suitability

Brochure includes ACSR for extra high voltage above 400 kV as per IS 398 Part 5.

Proven line format

Widely used in overhead transmission and distribution networks.

Broad range

The brochure includes multiple standard code-name sizes from distribution to transmission applications.

Conductor Build-Up

Bimetallic strength, controlled into a dependable conductor.

The ACSR profile is built around high-purity aluminium outer strands and a galvanized steel core, validated against recognized conductor requirements.

Step 01 / 05Process Step
Aluminium outer layers

Aluminium outer layers

High-purity aluminium strands form the conductive outer section.

Step 02 / 05Process Step
Galvanized steel core

Galvanized steel core

The central reinforcement carries tensile load and conductor weight.

Step 03 / 05Process Step
Layered stranding

Layered stranding

Aluminium may be arranged in one or more concentric layers depending on size.

Step 04 / 05Process Step
EHV variants

EHV variants

Higher voltage applications use appropriate ACSR constructions and technical validation.

Step 05 / 05Process Step
Testing parameters

Testing parameters

Cross sectional area, diameter, mass, resistance, and calculated breaking load should be captured in datasheets.
