AAC conductor is also known as aluminium stranded conductor. These conductors consist of several layers of aluminium wires stranded of hard drawn 1350 Aluminium concentrically. AAC are manufactured from electrolytically refined aluminium with a minimum purity of 99.7%. AAC conductors are used in low, medium and high voltage overhead lines.
Aluminium 1350–H19 Wires, concentrically stranded over a central wire of Aluminium 1350-H19
All Aluminium Conductor (AAC) have high ratio of electrical conductivity to weight, high flexibility, high Current Carrying Capacity and low UTS. Also, the aluminium has low levels of brittleness.
All Aluminium Conductors (AAC) are used in low voltage overhead lines in urban areas and in high voltage substation conducting. They are also used in very cold areas due to low brittleness of aluminium in the MV lines.
