AAC conductor
Construction
COMPOSITION |
These are made out of high strength Aluminium-Magnesium-Silicon alloy, cocentrically stranded |
---|
Application
Widely used for electrical power transmission over long distances; since they are ideal for long
overhead lines spans
They are also used as a messenger for supporting overhead electrical cables
As compared to conventional ACSR, AAAC are of lighter weight, comparable strength & current
carrying capacity, lower electrical losses and superior corrosion resistance, This has given AAAC a
wide acceptance in the distribution and transmission lines. These conductors have a minimum
conductivity of 52.5% IACS.
