High Voltage Overhead Power Lines Overhead Electrical Wire DIN 48201 BS 215

High Voltage Overhead Power Lines Overhead Electrical Wire DIN 48201 BS 215

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 both AAC / ACSR.

CONSTRUCTION

Conductor

Aluminium alloy conductor Type AL2 to AL7 as per EN 50183 to BS 215

CABLE STANDARDS

ASTM - B 399 Metric Units, ASTM - B 231, TS IEC 1089, DIN 48201, BS 215, UNE 21.018

The electrical and dimensional properties of this product are measured by the Technical and Quality Assurance department at the  Cables laboratory. Cable performance in respect of conductor resistance, construction quality (workmanship), dimensional consistency, and other parameters are verified to published standards and approved product drawings. Conformance to RoHS (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances) is determined and confirmed.

DIMENSIONS

ASTM Sizes

Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding, and metal conductivity of 52.5% IACS. AC resistance at 60 Hz.

Current ratings are based on 75ºC conductor temperature, 250ºC ambient, 2 ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.foot sun, 0.5 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.
