Galvanized steel strand wire refers to any steel wire product that has been subjected to a galvanizing process to improve its corrosion resistance. This process typically involves dipping the finished wire product into a bath of heated zinc compound to form a scratch-and corrosion-resistant coating across the entire wire surface.
Application
ACSR conductors are known to have more strength and conductivity and are popular among different conductor configurations for voltage transmission. ACSR conductors are used almost extensively in all countries to transmit huge amounts of voltage from one end to another. Due to their stranded nature, they are easy to transport, unlike in solid conductors that break during transportation and handling issues.
Reference Standard
Basic design to BS 215-2 / BS EN 50182 / IEC 61089 / ASTM B 232/B 232M / DIN 48204 / JIS C 3110 standards.
