AAAC Conductor
AAAC conductors are made of stranded aluminum alloy wires and are commonly used in overhead transmission and distribution lines.
Construction
- Conductor
- Aluminum alloy conductor
Application
AAAC conductors are typically used in areas where high strength and durability are required, such as large span transmission lines, coastal areas with high humidity, and areas susceptible to corrosive environments.
Feature
Aluminum alloy conductors have higher strength-to-weight ratios compared to pure aluminum conductors, allowing them to carry higher electrical loads without sagging. They also have better resistance to corrosion, which increases their durability and lifespan.
Standard
- ASTM B399
- BS 3242
- BS EN50183
- DIN 48201
- IEC 61089
