Bare AAC

Bare AAC conductors are primarily used in overhead power transmission and distribution systems. Made entirely of twisted aluminum wires, they offer excellent mechanical flexibility and electrical conductivity. Our AAC conductors comply with BS, ASTM, DIN, IEC, CSA, NFC, AS/NZS, JIS, and GOST standards.

AAC conductors are composed entirely of aluminum, using stranded aluminum wires to enhance mechanical flexibility and conductivity. Although aluminum is not as conductive as copper, it provides satisfactory electrical conductivity suitable for various transmission and distribution applications. The low density of aluminum results in a lighter conductor compared to copper alternatives, facilitating easier installation and handling. Additionally, aluminum's inherent resistance to atmospheric corrosion makes AAC conductors well-suited for outdoor applications where environmental exposure is a concern. The conductors are typically stranded to increase flexibility and reduce the risk of breakage under mechanical stress.

Applications

● Overhead Power Lines: Widely used in overhead power transmission and distribution networks, especially in urban areas with short spans between poles.

● Substation Connections: Utilized for connecting transformers, busbars, and other electrical equipment within substations.

● Service Drops: Employed for connecting utility distribution lines to customer premises, providing reliable power delivery.
