Specification for ACSR Lynx Conductor

1. Scope

This specification covers concentric layers stranded conductor type ACSR


Lynx made from round aluminum wire and round zinc coated steel core
wires, for use as overhead electrical conductor.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of this specification the following definitions shall apply.

2.1 For the purposes of this specification the following definitions shall apply.

2.2 Aluminium Conductor, Steel-Reinforced

Conductor consisting of seven or more aluminium and zinc-coated steel


wires built up in concentric layers. The centre wire or wires are of zinc-
coated steel and the outer layers of aluminium.

2.3 Diameter

Mean of two measurements at right angles taken at the same cross-section.

2.4 Direction of lay

The direction of lay is defined as right-hand or left-hand. With right-hand


lay, the wires conform to the direction of the central part of the letter “Z”
when the Conductor is held vertically. With left-hand lay, the wires
conform to the direction of the central part of the letter “S” when the
conductor is held vertically.

2.5 Lay Ratio

Ratio of the axial length of a complete turn of the helix formed by an


individual wire in a stranded conductor, to the external diameter of the
helix.

3. Material

The material to be used for manufacturing of ACSR Lynx Conductor shall


be in accordance with latest ASTM standards.

reels apart from being protected by heavy wooden lagging nailed at each
end of the reel flanges shall also be bound by two steel straps. The wooden
reels shall be given two brush costs of 5 percent pentachlorophenol
solution in oil before winding of conductor. The conductor shall be wound
tightly.

6.2 The conductor shall be supplied in lengths specified above.

6.3 The manufacturer shall provide the following markings on the reels in
legible and indelible letters.

1) Manufacturer’s name and designation


2) Conductor designation
3) Address of the consignee and purchase order number
4) Serial number of the reel

6.4 The manufacturer shall stamp the following information on metallic plates
which shall be securely nailed to the reel.

1) Size and designation of ACSR stranded conductor.


2) Net weight, tare weight and gross weight, in kg.
3) Total length of the conductor on the reel, in meters.
4) Serial number of the reel.

6.5 Both sides of the reel shall have an arrow mark indicating the direction of
rolling.

6.6 All markings shall appear on both sides of the reel.
