Question

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. 

A.

(1) False, (2) True (3) True 

B.

(1) False, (2) True (3) False 

C.

(1) True, (2) True (3) False 

D.

(1) True, (2) True (3) True

Answer ( Option C)

(1) True, (2) True (3) False 

Solution

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).
