ABC cables use aluminum conductor strands, typically AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor) or AAC (All Aluminum Conductor). These conductors are grouped into multi-core bundles under a single weatherproof jacket. Aluminum offers a favorable balance of conductivity, weight, corrosion resistance, and cost, making it ideal for urban and suburban overhead distribution where reducing weight and installation […]
