100mm2 Aluminum Alloy AAAC Conductor
1. Application
AAAC Conductor is used as bare overhead conductor for primary and
secondary distribution. Designed utilizing a high-strength
aluminum-alloy to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio; affords
good sag characteristics.
1). AAAC 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.
2). The aluminum alloy conductors are used in replace of
single-layer ACSR conductors to reduce power loss in overhead
distribution and transmission lines, when replacing the aluminum
conductor steel reinforced, the AAAC can save 5-8% of the
construction cost.
3). AAAC referred to have higher strength but lower conductivity
than pure aluminum being lighter, alloy conductors can sometimes be
used to advantage in replace of the more conventional ACSR.2.
