ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) Rabbit Conductor 50mm² is a widely used bare overhead transmission and distribution conductor. It combines the lightweight and high conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength of galvanized steel, making it ideal for power lines across long spans, such as valleys or rivers, and in various terrain conditions.
Applications
Used in overhead transmission lines and distribution networks
Suitable for primary and secondary distribution at various voltage levels
Designed for long-span installations and regions requiring high mechanical strength
Frequently used in rural electrification, utility networks, and infrastructure upgrades
Key Features
Simple structure: Easy to install and maintain
Cost-effective: Low installation and operational cost
High strength-to-weight ratio: Ideal for long-span applications
Excellent conductivity and tensile strength
Long pole distances possible, reducing the need for support structures
Resistant to corrosion with galvanized steel core
Standards
Compliant with international standards such as:
ASTM B232 / B232M
IEC 61089
DIN 48204
BS 215 Part 2
