QWhat is benefits of ACSR conductors in transmission and distribution systems?A1.The conductance is higher than copper. 2.ACSR conductor is strong steel core light weight aluminum conductors available in a wide range of steel, which includes a carbon portion of 0.5 - 0.85. 3.These can be produced with flexible stamina in wide ranges as per the purpose for any resistance. 4.These type of conductors are also called as bimetallic conductors because it includes internal and external layers. The internal layers are of steel cables whereas the external layers are light weight aluminum that's hard-drawn. 5.The mechanical efficiency of the ACSR conductor is high. 6.The tensile stamina of the conductor is high. 7.Greater dependability because of the steel cables, which ensures the safety margins of the conductor. 8.Because of the highest mechanical resistance, better transport capacity, and high tensile stamina, the ACSR conductor can be used for medium and long spans and needs much less support. 9.The corona limit is high because of the high size of ACSR. 10.High voltage overhead lines are high. 11.Galvanic rust is avoided and steel cable is protected by covering with zinc. 12.Used for overhead ground cables, river crossings, and long-span installation purposes because of their highest strength. 13.Reduced weight and economical design.

QWhy don’t we use copper in transmission lines?ADuring high-voltage power transmission, overhead conductors are the main component of overhead power lines, and their role is to transmit power. However, the material of high-voltage transmission conductors is almost aluminum. Why don’t we use copper? There are three reasons. 1.aluminum as a material for high-voltage transmission lines can save costs 2.The weight of copper as conductor is more than twice that of aluminum . Because the weight of the conductor is very heavy, the pulling force of the wire will be very large due to the action of gravity, and it is easy to break, which is very dangerous. The high-voltage transmission line is twisted into multiple strands, with a steel wire in the center and aluminum wire around. It supply good electrical conductivity, but also has low density and light weight. 3.In addition, aluminum resources are much richer, and the price is much cheaper. Therefore, aluminum as conductor have so many advantages, and aluminum is used as a conductive material for high-voltage power transmission.

QWhy are high voltage power lines not insulated?A1、The voltage flowing in the high-voltage power line is very high, the current is very large, it is easy to generate heat, it will burn the insulation skin, and even break down the insulation. 2、The high-voltage power line is very long, and the bare conductor can reduce weight. 3、The high-voltage power line are generally erected in air, with erection height requirements, and not easy to reach. As long as they meet the safety distance requirements,bare conductor will not cause danger. Hope our answer can be helpful to you.
