Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) cable has several key characteristics: it has good ampacity and thermal characteristics, high strength to weight ratio, and low sag with high tensile strength. ACSR cable is commonly used for both transmission and distribution lines, especially for long span distances. The document then provides technical specifications and performance data for various ACSR cable types.

NOTES:
Mass of the conductor mentioned in col 7 is different from the mass of the corresponding conductor in other parts of this
standard due to the difference in mean lay ratio specified in this part of the standard.
Resistance of the conductor mentioned in col 8 is different from the values specified for the corresponding conductors in other
parts of this standard due to the following factors:
a) Lower values of resistivity;
b) Difference in mean lay ratio; &
c) Difference in tolerance on the nominal diameter of aluminium wire.
