Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced (ACSR), also known as Bare aluminium conductors, are one of the most widely
used conductors for transmission. The conductor consists of a one or more layers of aluminium wires stranded over a
high strength steel core. The core can be single or multiple strands depending on the application or requirement. There
can be various stranding combinations of Al and steel wires giving flexibility to obtain the suitable current carrying
capacity and mechanical strength based on the application.
Advantages
Its low weight combined with its high tensile strength allow larger span runs. Electrical losses by corona effect are greatly
reduced, due to the larger diameter size of this design. Economical transmission and distribution of electrical energy can
be achieved by ACSR, at very high voltages and distances.
Applications
Overhead T&D lines- MV, HV & EHV (11 kv to 800 Kv Lines).

STER-ACSRTM/AS or STER-ACSRTM/AW
Aluminium Conductors, Aluminium Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AS or ACSR/AW) are concentrically stranded
conductors with one or more layers of hard drawn 1350-H19 aluminum wires on Aluminium Clad steel wire core. The
core can be single wire or stranded depending on the size.
Advantages
A higher UTS can be achieved by increasing core and higher current carrying capacity by increasing Al content. The
mechanical properties of ACSR/AS conductors are similar to ACSR conductors but offers improved ampacity and
resistance to corrosion because of the presence of aluminum clad steel wires in the core. These conductors are better
replacement for ACSR conductors where corrosive conditions.
Applications
High voltage overhead transmission & distribution lines , & coastal regions.

Applications
All Aluminum Conductor (AAC) are used in low voltage overhead lines in urban areas and in high voltage substation
conductoring. Also, used in very cold areas due to low brittleness of aluminum in the MV lines.

STER-AAACTM
AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductors)- Several layers of aluminium alloy (generally Al-Mg-Si) stranded in concentric
layers. Designed using a highstrength aluminum alloy to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio; affords better sag
characteristics
Advantages
AAAC has good corrosion resistance, however due to the absence of steel, the resistance of AAAC is lower as compared
to ACSR. AAAC can carry atleast 15-20% extra current as compared to ACSR of equal size. Also, it has higher life span of
60 years as compared to ACSR which has around 30 years life span. The surface hardness of AAAC is 80 BHN as compared
to 35 BHN of ACSR. This reduces the damage to surface during handling and therefore leading to lesser corona losses
and ratio interference at EHV. AAAC can be operated with stable temp 850 C against ACSR conductors which are stable
upto 750 C. Since AAAC has higher strength to weight ratio, span can be increased from 2 to 15% resulting in overall
reduction of cost in towers supports and other accessories in transmission line system.
Applications
All Aluminum Alloy Conductors (AAAC) are extensively used for primary and secondary transmission in bare overhead
distribution and transmission lines (11 kv to 800 Kv Lines) & HV substations. Also, usable in highly polluted industrial
areas and coastal regions due to corrosion resistance.

STER-ACARTM
Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) is formed by concentrically stranded wires of Aluminium 1350 on high
strength Aluminium -Magnesium -Silicon (AlMgSi) alloy core. The number of wires of Aluminum1350 & AlMgSi alloy
depends on the cable design. Though the general design comprises a stranded core of AlMgSi alloy strand, in certain
cable constructions, the wires of AlMgSi alloy strands can be distributed in layers throughout the Aluminium 1350
strands.
Advantages
ACAR has better mechanical and electrical properties as compared to an equivalent ACSR, AAC or AAAC. A very good
balance between the mechanical and electrical properties therefore makes ACAR the best choice where the ampacity,
strength and light weight are the main consideration of the line design. For equal weight ACAR offers higher strength
and ampacity than ACSR. A higher U.T.S. can be obtained, by increasing aluminium alloy content, and a higher current
carrying capacity by increasing aluminium content.
Applications
Aluminum Conductors Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) are extensively used for overhead distribution and transmission lines .

Sterlite Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) conductor consists of a hybrid carbon and glass fiber core which is
wrapped with trapezoidal shaped aluminum strands. The high strength structural core carries most of the conductor's
mechanical load, while the fully annealed aluminum strands carry all of the conductor's electrical current. ACCC
