Aluminium Conductors

Eland Product Group: A4A

Application: AAC conductor is also known as aluminium stranded conductor. It is manufactured from electrolytically refined aluminium, with a minimum purity of 99.7%. AAC is used mainly in urban areas where the spacing is short and the supports are close. All aluminium conductors are made up of one or more strands of aluminium wire depending on the end usage. AAC is also used extensively in coastal regions because it has a high degree of corrosion resistance.

Application: AAAC is used as a bare overhead conductor for power transmission and distribution lines, on aerial circuits that require a larger mechanical resistance than AAC, and a better corrosion resistance than ACSR. The sag characteristics and the strength-to-weight ratio of AAAC is better than AAC / ACSR.

Application: ACSR conductor consists of a solid or stranded steel core surrounded by strands of aluminium. ACSR conductor is available in a range of steel strengths varying from 6% up to 40%. The higher strength ACSR conductors are used for river crossings, overhead earth wires, and installations involving extra long spans. Against any given resistance of conductor, ACSR conductor may be manufactured to have different tensile strengths as per requirement. The principal advantage of these conductors are their high tensile strength and light weight, covering longer spans with less supports. Due to the greater diameter of an ACSR conductor much higher corona limit can be obtained, giving a big advantage on high and extra high voltage overhead lines.
