Bare Alimunium Conductors AAC AAAC ACSR Overhead Transmission Lines

Bare Alimunium Conductors AAC AAAC ACSR Overhead Transmission Lines

These bare aluminum conductors are suitable for use in all practical spans on wood poles, transmission towers, and other structures. Applications include: Long, extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines.

AAC conductor 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.

AAAC conductor- The full name: All aluminium alloy conductor. AAAC contains a small percentage (about 0.6%) of silicon and magnesium elements. It provides several benefits for overhead lines.

7 and 19 strand construction is suitable for bare overhead reticulation of medium spans, normally at low and medium voltages. 37 and 61 strand construction is suitable for transmission and subtransmission lines where homogeneous construction can reduce line losses and improve corrosion resistance in conductors with similar strength to ACSR types.

ACSR conductor– The full name: Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced. Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced is used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. This wire is suitable for use in all practical spans on wood poles, transmission towers, and other structures. Applications range from long, extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines to sub-service spans at distribution or utilization voltages on private premises. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding for desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.

ACSR (aluminum conductor steel reinforced) has a long service record because of its economy, dependability, and strength to weight ratio. The combined light weight and high conductivity of aluminum with strength of the steel core enables higher tensions, less sag, and longer spans than any alternative.
