Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) cable continues to be one of the most widely used conductors in overhead transmission systems due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-efficiency. For utility companies, EPC contractors, and industrial power distributors, selecting the right ACSR cable is essential to ensuring safe, long-distance energy transfer with minimal losses.
As a global manufacturer of overhead conductors and power cables, HNBF Power provides durable, precision-engineered ACSR cable solutions designed to meet international standards and demanding field conditions.
What Is ACSR Cable?
ACSR cable is a stranded conductor consisting of:
Outer aluminum strands for high conductivity
Steel core for mechanical strength and sag control
This hybrid structure allows ACSR to perform reliably across long spans, harsh climates, and high mechanical load applications.
Key Advantages of ACSR Cable
1. High Tensile Strength
Thanks to its steel-reinforced core, ACSR offers excellent mechanical performance, making it ideal for long-span overhead transmission lines and areas prone to strong winds or ice loading.
2. Excellent Conductivity
The high-purity aluminum strands ensure efficient current flow, reducing line losses and supporting stable power transmission.
3. Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum’s naturally protective oxide layer enhances durability, while galvanized steel cores improve resistance in coastal and industrial zones.
4. Wide Range of Sizes and Designs
ACSR is manufactured in various strand configurations to match regional standards, load requirements, and system voltage levels.
Applications of ACSR Cable
ACSR cable is widely used in:
High-voltage and extra-high-voltage transmission lines
Sub-transmission and distribution networks
Rural electrification and grid extension projects
Industrial overhead feeders
Long-span river crossings and mountainous terrains
HNBF Power engineers assist procurement teams in selecting the right conductor size, tensile grade, and aluminum-to-steel ratio for each specific project.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What determines the strength of an ACSR cable?
The strength mainly depends on the steel core’s diameter and grade, as well as the stranding pattern of the aluminum layers.
2. Is ACSR suitable for corrosive environments?
Yes. ACSR can be manufactured with galvanized, aluminum-clad, or zinc-aluminum coated steel cores to enhance corrosion resistance.
3. How does ACSR compare to AAAC or AAC?
ACSR offers higher mechanical strength due to its steel core, making it ideal for long spans. AAC and AAAC are preferred where lower weight or higher corrosion resistance is required.
4. Can HNBF Power customize ACSR conductors?
Absolutely. We manufacture ACSR cables in multiple sizes, tensile strengths, and coatings based on project requirements.
5. What standards do HNBF Power ACSR cables meet?
HNBF Power manufactures according to IEC, ASTM, BS, and customer-specified standards.
