Question

The function of steel wire in ACSR conductors is

A.

To take care of surges 

B.

To reduce corona 

C.

To reduce inductance 

D.

To provide additional mechanical strength 

Answer ( Option D)

To provide additional mechanical strength 

Solution

The function of steel wire in ACSR conductors is to provide additional mechanical strength. These conductors have high tensile strength so that they are used for longer spans with less supports. Due to the greater diameter of ACSR conductors a much higher corona limits.

ACSR stands for Aluminium conductor steel Reinforced.
