Application

AAC conductor is also known as aluminum stranded conductor which are used in urban areas where spans are usually short but high conductivity is required and are in common use on overhead lines for in low, medium and high voltage. The excellent corrosion resistance of aluminium has made AAC a conductor of choice in coastal areas.Although aluminium-to-copper connections can be made, it is better to use aluminium conductors for service connections, as various forms of covered cable are available for this purpose.

Standard

Basic design to BS 215-1 / BS EN 50182 / IEC 61089 / ASTM B 231/B 231M / DIN 48201-5 standards

Construction

Concentric lay stranded Aluminium Conductor ( AAC) is manufactured from electrolytically refined aluminium with a minimum purity of 99.7%. and made up of one or more strands of hard drawn 1350 aluminum alloy.
