ACSR stands for aluminum conductor, steel reinforced. This type of conductor is used for transmission lines that are strung between poles or towers. The aluminum is used for its lower resistance, and the steel provides the structural strength.
the main purpose of steel in acsr conductors is for mechanical strength
There are lots of choices for type of conductor - ACSR is a very common one. In my experience aluminum is the most often used metal. ACSR uses aluminum to carry the current, and also has a steel core that provides added strength.
220 KV lines used in Kerala have a capacity of 880 Amps
-The tension of the cable (the tighter, the less sag, but this can cause other problems if too tight) -The temperature outside (the higher the temperature, the more it will sag) -The amount of current flowing through the cable (the more current, the hotter the conductor will get = more sag) -The type of cable (aluminimum will sag more than copper; ACSR will sag less than straight aluminimum).
The Bersimis ACSR Conductor have the Current Carrying Capacity 1359.6A. It is rated at stranding (Alluminium/Steel) 42/7 and Resistance DC 20 degree Celcius per 1000ft. 0.013Ω.

acsr means all alluminum steel reinforced , it means it has a steel conductor inside for reinforcing just as animals has backbone , so names of the animals & birds names with backbone are used for ASCR. AAC, All alluminum cable , the names of insects used

"Dog" is the code name for a specific type of conductor ACSR conductor - 14.2mm in diameter with 7 small (1.57mm) strands of steel and 6 large strands (4.27mm) of aluminium, and can carry up to 455A of power. ACSR conductors are named after animals, with the larger/smaller the animal, the large/smaller the conductor is - a Dog conductor is larger than a Mole conductor, but smaller than a Zebra conductor.

Steel is used to provide the aluminium conductor with tensile strength necessary for suspension between poles or towers.
