What is ACSR Rabbit Conductor?

ACSR Rabbit Conductor belongs to the family of [ACSR Conductor](https://www.sitongcable.com/products/?first_category=bare_conductor&second_category=acsr_conductor） products, also known as Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced conductors, which are widely used in overhead transmission and distribution systems.

The conductor consists of:

• High conductivity aluminum strands
• Galvanized steel reinforcing core
• Concentric stranded construction

The aluminum strands provide efficient electrical current transmission, while the galvanized steel core improves mechanical strength, allowing the conductor to withstand higher tensile loads, longer spans, wind pressure, and environmental stress.

In the traditional BS 215 ACSR animal naming system, conductors are identified by animal code names such as Rabbit, Dog, Wolf, and Panther. These names represent different conductor sizes, aluminum cross-sectional areas, mechanical characteristics, and electrical capacities. :contentReference

ACSR Rabbit Conductor Construction

The standard ACSR Rabbit conductor is manufactured with:

1. Aluminum Conductive Layer

The aluminum strands are manufactured using:

• EC Grade Aluminum 1350-H19

The aluminum layer provides current-carrying capacity, while the steel core improves tensile strength and reduces conductor sag.

3. What is the difference between ACSR Rabbit and AAC Conductor?

The main difference is mechanical performance.

AAC Conductor contains only aluminum strands, offering excellent conductivity but lower tensile strength.

ACSR Rabbit combines aluminum with a steel reinforcement core, providing:

• Higher tensile strength
• Better sag control
• Longer span capability

Therefore, ACSR Rabbit is more suitable for overhead lines requiring stronger mechanical support.

4. What is the difference between ACSR Rabbit, Dog, Wolf, and Panther?

Rabbit, Dog, Wolf, and Panther are traditional BS 215 ACSR code names representing different conductor sizes.
The main differences are:
- Aluminum cross-sectional area
- Current carrying capacity
- Mechanical strength
- Transmission distance capability

Larger conductors such as Dog, Wolf, and Panther are generally selected for higher-capacity transmission projects.
