ACSR Duck
The ACSR Duck conductor by Sterlite Power is a high-performance Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) cable designed for efficient power transmission and distribution networks. It consists of EC-grade aluminium strands wrapped around a galvanized steel core, ensuring high tensile strength, excellent conductivity, and corrosion resistance. With a total cross-sectional area of 344.1 mm², a rated strength of 96.82 kN, and a maximum DC resistance of 0.0949 Ω/km, it is engineered for long-span applications and high-voltage transmission lines. Furthermore, the aluminium used in the production of ACSR Duck is classified as green aluminium, with an emission factor of 4.89 kg CO₂-eq. This is attributed to the fact that all production processes are powered by renewable electricity, resulting in significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This sustainable approach makes ACSR Duck an environmentally responsible choice for modern power infrastructure, aligning with global efforts to decarbonize energy transmission systems.
