All Aluminum Conductor (AAC)

High Quality Overhead Line All Aluminum conductor

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.
