Abstract

The remaining life of ACSR(Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) wires exposed to the atmosphere for a long period relies on the extent of deterioration caused by environmental factors such as atmospheric corrosion, galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion and fatigue corrosion. We investigated the tensile characteristics of ACSR wires in a coastal area through several mechanical tests, and analyzed the constituents of them using SEM(scanning electron microscope). Test samples are parts of ACSR 97[$mm^2$] overhead transmission lines in that area. The result shows that ACSR wires exposed to salt may lead to rapid mechanical deterioration.
