Conductor DESIGNS OF CONDUCTORS • AACSR (Aluminum Alloy Conductor Steel Reinforced) • Expanded ACSR • Smooth body conductors *trapezoidal shaped wire conductors *compact conductors • VR Conductors • Self Damping Conductors • Bundled Conductors • Surface Finishes Materials Types Factorsto consider Design With each change, there is a compromise. With each compromise, there is a new design.
