What Are AAAC Conductors?
AAAC stands for All Aluminum Alloy Conductors. These conductors are alloyed with high-strength metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and silicon. Along with All Aluminum Conductor (AAC) and Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR), it forms part of the family of overhead conductors used as transmission and distribution lines. Each of these aluminum conductor types is made up of one or more strands of aluminum wire, depending on the specific application. In this blog, we mainly look at the characteristics of AAAC and the advantages they offer. Characteristics of All Aluminum Alloy Conductors All Aluminum Alloy Conductors show better mechanical resistance than AAC and better corrosion resistance than ACSR. In fact, their strength-to-weight ratio is greater than both AAC and ACSR on an equal diameter basis. Also, given their superior tensile strength, these conductor cables sag less and maintain safer spacing between towers. Therefore, AAAC is preferred as a bare conductor for aeria...
