Aluminium conductor is reinforced by steel because it can give the strenght required to support the weight of the cable without streching the aluminium, which is very ductile. It gives a specific type of high-capacity and high-strenght cable, typically used in overhead power lines.

Why is copper used as a conductor in transmission lines?
They are the most cost effective while maintaining good conductivity for electricity. Gold is the best conductor, but is too costly to make into wires.
Is steel a conductor?
== Yes, but not as good as Copper, Silver or Gold. == Totally shocking - yes?
Do scissors conduct electricity?
Because electricity will travel through almost everything but wood, rubber, and a few more. Scissors have metal in them, and that is the thing that electricity loves to travel through.

stainless steel or reinforced plastic
Why is steel a bad conductor of heat?
Steel is a good conductor of heat. Try opening a paper clip and holding one end over a candle flame. You'll feel the opposite end get hot pretty quickly.
Does alluminium conduct electricity?
Yes. A typical high voltage conductor is type ACSR - aluminum conductor, steel reinforced. aluminum conductor is wrapped around a central steel cable that gives it strength, the aluminum carries the current.

What is wire factor of almunium conductor steel reinforced size 0.176 S.W.G?
Is a steel fence a conductor?
The steel used in the fence is a conductor of electricity.
Why is steel not used for electric wires?
Because steel is not a good conductor of electricity. Copper is the best conductor for electricity.
Is steel the best conductor of electricity?
NO. Silver is the best conductor of electricity. (That is why it is used in satellites).
Is steel conductor or insulator?
insulator
Is spring steel a good conductor of electricity?
Any steel is.
Can electricity flow through steel?
Yes. Steel is an electrical conductor.
Is steel a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Yes. Steel has mobile electrons to conduct electricity and heat.
Is steel a conductor of both electricity andh heat?
Firstly, it's "and" and not "andh"Secondly, YES, steel is a conductor of both electricity and heat.I hope this answers your Question. :)
Why is a spatula a conductor?
A plastic spatula is not a conductor, as electricity does not transfer through plastic. A metal spatula is a conductor, since the metal used in kitchenware is often steel (stainless is the most popular), and steel is a conductor. While a better conductor would be copper, aluminum, silver, or gold, steel does conduct electricity.
Is steel spoon is conductor or insulator?
A steel spoon is an excellent conductor of heat.ANSWER: Conductor
