Right Answer is:

A.C.S.R. conductors

SOLUTION

Aluminum-conductor steel-reinforced cable(A.C.S.R. conductors)

  • Aluminum conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines.
  • The outer strands are high-purity aluminum and the center strand is the steel for additional strength to help support the weight of the conductor.
  • Steel has higher strength than aluminum which can allow increased mechanical tension to be applied on the conductor.
