Hi all,

I am looking for data on ACSR overhead line conductor, type Dinosaur.

Specifically the strand numbers and overall cross-section, from which I can calculate R1, X1, R0, X0 from tables) alternatively the impedance values per km/m directly.

Thanks.

Perks,
Is Dinosaur the code word for this conductor? ACSR code words are normally birds. I did not see it in the Southwire overhead conductor manual.
 
Chapter 5 of the Areva PRAG gives impedance information on all the various DIN/BS/ASTM overhead line conductors.
ftp://ftp.areva-td.com/NPAG/Chap5-46-77.pdf
Page 70 onwards.

Can't see a Dinosaur, though.
Maybe it's an extinct conductor size...
Ho ho ho!

Perks Southwires site has lots of conductor data. It's in their catalog. They have aa pretty good overhead conductor manual for which they want $25. If you know your local drummer well they can be had for free.
If you have old catalogs around the office go through them before they get thrown out. I know of people who threw out Rome Cable catalogs just because they went out of business. The last couple of chapters in the Rome catalog were worth saving.
