All Aluminum Conductor (AAC) Cables
Construction
Concentric lay stranded Aluminium Conductor ( AAC) is made up of one or more strands of hard drawn 1350 aluminum alloy. These conductors are used in low, medium and high voltage overhead lines.
AAC has seen extensive use in urban areas where spans are usually short but high conductivity us equired. The excellent corrosion resistance of aluminium has made AAC a conductor of choice in coastal areas.
Because of its relatively poor strength to weight ratio, AAC had limited use in transmission lines and rural distribution because of long spans utilized.
All aluminium conductors are made up of one or more strands of aluminium wire dep.
