Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR) cable is a type of electrical cable commonly used for overhead power transmission and distribution. It consists of a core made of steel that is surrounded by layers of aluminum strands. This construction combines the strengths of both materials: 1. **Aluminum Conductor**: Aluminum is lightweight and has good conductivity, making it an efficient material for carrying electrical current over long distances. It is also resistant to corrosion, which enhances its durability.
