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
