Mechanical deterioration of ACSR conductors due to forest fires.

Considerations for the remaining life of the aluminum stranded conductors steel reinforced (ACSR) in transmission lines have become gradually important to hold the reliability and the stability of the electric power supply. The useful life of the ACSR exposed to the atmosphere for a long period may...
