ACSR Lynx Conductor

Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced(ACSR) is a specific type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines.Just like any other aluminum conductor steel reinforced cable that you have known, acsr lynx conductor also consist of stranded aluminum surrounding the steel. But lynx conductor specification is determined according to BS 215.

 

ACSR lynx conductor strands 30 aluminum and 7 steels, and their diameter is the same, and they are all 2.79 mm. After the cabling, the overall diameter is 19.53 mm. From the calculation, the sectional area of aluminum is 183.40 mm2, and total sectional area is 326.20 mm2. There are a simple way to test the acsr lynx conductor. The total linear mass is 842 kg/km. If the weight of acsr lynx conductor is too high or too low, you must be careful. At the 20℃, the calculate D.C resistance is 0.1576 Ω/km. The calculated breaking load 7980 daN. When the power goes through the acsr lynx conductor, the current rating is 386 A.
