Consider the
following statements regarding aluminium conductor steel reinforced conductors
in transmission lines. State whether these statements are true or false.
1. It is
cheaper than copper conductor of equal resistance.
2. Corona
losses are reduced in it because of the larger diameter of the conductor.
3. It has
lesser mechanical strength, so it needs more support for a particular length of
transmission line.

Aluminium
conductor steel reinforced conductors have following properties :
(i) It is
cheaper than copper conductor for equal resistance.
(ii) Corona
loss is reduced in it because of large diameter of the conductor.
(iii) It has
higher mechanical strength, so it need less support for a particular length of
transmission line.
Hence, the
correct option is (C).
