Code name: Mink
Corss section area: 60mm2
Standard: BS 215 Part 2
Conductor Material: Aluminum and Steel
ACSR conductors are widely used for electrical power transmission over long distances, since they are ideal for long overhead lines spans. They are also used as a messenger for supporting overhead electrical cables.
Basic design to BS 215-2 / BS EN 50182 / IEC 61089 / ASTM B 232/B 232M / DIN 48204 / JIS C 3110 standards
With simple structure, the aluminum conductor steel reinforced is easy to set up and maintain, with low cost and high transmission capacity. It is advantageous for this ACSR to be put up across a valley or river or under other various special geographic conditions. The ACSR has advantages of sound electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, high tensile strength, etc, and the pole distance can be lengthened. It is used for power transmission lines with various voltage levels and plays an important role in the electricity transmission field.
Form the name, we can know the acsr mink conductor is aluminum conductor steel reinforced. acsr mink conductor belongs to BS-215 standard, which is British standard. “Mink” is a code name of acsr conductor. ACSR mink conductor is a special type of stranded cable that consists of steel core surrendered by aluminum. So we can see its structure is very simple.The specification of mink conductor is 6/3.66mm aluminum and 1/3.66mm steel. And the high tensile strength and hardness of steel core ensure the weather-resistance property and the long span. From the calculation, the total linear mass should be 255 kg/km. After the cabling, the calculated breaking should be 2180daN. . At 20℃, the calculate D.C. resistance is 0.4545 Ω/km. This is the basic mink conductor size.
