AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductor) widely used in power
transmission lines with various voltage levels.
Brief Description:
This conductor is made from aluminium-magnesium
silicon alloy of high electrical conductivity containing enough magnesium silicide to give it better mechanical
properties after treatment. These conductors are generally made out of aluminium alloy ***1.
AAAC CONDUCTOR has a better corrosion resistance and better strength to weight ratio and improved electrical conductivity than ACSR CONDUCTOR on equal diameter basis.
Applications:
AAAC aluminum alloy conductors are extensively used for overhead distribution and transmission lines
adjacent to ocean coastlines where there can be a problem of corrosion in the steel of an ACSR construction.The inductive effect of the ACSR's steel core is eliminated, hence increasing the operating efficiency of the line.
