This conductor consists of a solid or stranded steel core surrounded by strands of aluminum. The higher strength ACSR CONDUCTORS are used for river crossings, overhead ground wires, installations involving extra long spans etc.. against any given resistance of conductor, ACSR conductor may be manufactured for having a wide range of tensile strength as per requirement. 
Advantages:

1.   High tensile strength. 

2.   Light weight with longer spans as well as with lesser supports. 

3.   Due to the greater diameter of ACSR CONDUCTORS a much higher corona limit can be obtained causing big advantages on high as well as extra high voltage overhead lines.
