The mixed construction of ACSR makes it a very flexible medium from a design point of view. By varying the relative proportions of aluminum and steel, the ideal driver for any particular application can be produced. Generally, ACSR consists of a 1-wire, 7-wire or 19-wire galvanized steel core surrounded by concentric layers of aluminum wire. When a driver with a high intensity loading capacity and a comparatively low force is required, special constructions are available with high aluminum content.
