An ACSR (Aluminum Conductors Steel Reinforced) power line, when it lies in a fire environment, can manifest a permanent elongation and change in bending, as when the conductors attain a temperature of over 500°C, a drastic fall of the mechanical strength of the steel core is caused. This work is a study about the conductor cross-section at the position of the abruption, in case it occurs. This cross section appears to be approximately 62.5% of the original value. Subsequently, two approximative methods of calculating the bending change of overhead lines are shown
