Overhead lines generally use__________________?
Correct answer: C. A.C.S.R. conductors
- A. copper conductors
- B. all aluminium conductors
- C. A.C.S.R. conductors
- D. none of these
Explanation
ACSR combines aluminium strands, which give low weight and good conductivity, with a steel core that provides mechanical strength. This makes it more suitable for long overhead spans than plain aluminium or copper conductors.
