Application: AAC conductor is also known as aluminium stranded conductor. It is manufactured from electrolytically refined aluminium, with a minimum purity of 99.7%. AAC is used mainly in urban areas where the spacing is short and the supports are close. All aluminium conductors are made up of one or more strands of aluminium wire depending on the end usage. AAC is also used extensively in coastal regions because it has a high degree of corrosion resistance.
Suitability: Power transmission and distribution lines.
Standards & Voltage Rating: ASTM B231, TS IEC 1089, DIN 48201, BS 215, UNE 21.018
Construction: Hard Drawn Aluminium Type AL1, Aluminium alloy conductor Type AL2 to AL7, or Hard Drawn Aluminium, AL1 and Zinc Coated Steel Wire conductor.
Details: Sizes referred to by codenames – AAC uses Flowers / Insects, AAAC is Trees / American Cities, ACSR is Birds / Animals.
AAC–ASTM-B All Aluminium Conductor
AAC are a refined Aluminium stranded conductor with a minimum metal purity of 99.7%. It is principally used in urban areas where spacing is short and the supports are close. It can be used in coastal regions owing to its high degree of corrosion resistance and is also used extensively within the Railway and Metro industries.
