Aluminum Conductor Fiber Reinforced Conductors: Carbon composite core with unique stranding technology is used as a core of innovated High-performance conductor called Aluminum Conductor Fiber Reinforced (ACFR). Due to electrical demand has been increasing rapidly ACFR will provide the best solution with more than twice the ampacity & low sag at higher operating temperature when compared with convention conductors.
When compared in terms of technical particulars of ACFR conductor to ACSR conductors, they have lighter in weight, compatible strength and lower electrical losses have given greater advantages in Overhead transmission lines.
UNIQUE FEATURE
Doubles the ampacity compared to conventional ACSR conductor.
Lower sag
Lower losses
Flexibility and tolerance of extreme bending through multi- strand design
A multi strand core guards against single point of failure
Design of the conductor to fit the existing transmission system infrastructure: tools, fittings and work practice are same as for conventional steel core conductors.
Ease of accessories and installation features helps the line crews to gain confidence in the composite core HTLS conductor stringing.
