AAC Conductor
AAC (All Aluminium Conductor) is a type of electrical conductor made entirely of aluminium strands. It is primarily used in overhead power transmission and distribution lines, especially in areas where high conductivity and lightweight construction are required. AAC conductors are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for coastal and humid environments.
Description
Laser AAC conductors consist of multiple strands of hard-drawn aluminium and comply with standards such as IS, ASTM, BS EN, DIN, IEC, and NFC. These conductors are widely utilized in low, medium, and high-voltage overhead power lines. They are particularly preferred in urban areas where shorter spans require high conductivity. Additionally, the excellent corrosion resistance of aluminium makes AAC conductors ideal for use in coastal regions.
