Cables Overhead Line Cable

Overhead Line Cable is an non insulated conductive cable suitable for overhead power transmission. Cable is suspended overhead by towers and electrically isolated from the tower structure by insulators. The majority of overhead line cable is aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR)construction. ACSR cable uses outer aluminum conductor strands wrapped around a center steel strand for strength.
