Total diameter of 3 Layer ACSR conductor having diameter d of each strand is

Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs

The diameter of each strand of a 3 layer ACSR conductor is d, the total diameter of ACSR conductor will be:

1. d
2. 3d
3. 2d
4. 5d

Correct answer: 4. 5d

Explanation:

Formula for total diameter of ACSR conductor is: D = (2x – 1)×d

Where in above:

• x = layer number
• d = diameter of each strand

Total diameter of ACSR conductor D = (2×3 – 1)×d = 5d
