AAAC
All Aluminum Alloy Conductor

AAAC is made from aluminium-magnesium silicon alloy of high electrical conductivity containing enough magnesium silicide,generally made out of aluminium alloy 6201.
Application Scenario：AAAC is used as a bare overhead conductor for power transmission and distrilbution lines, on aerial circuits that require a larger mechanical resistance than AAc, and a better corrosion resistance than ACSR.

AAAC All Aluminum Alloy Conductor Details

What Is AAAC Conductor?

AAAC are made out of high strength Aluminium-Magnesium-Silicon alloy. 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.

AAAC Conductor Construction

AAAC is made from aluminium-magnesium silicon alloy of high electrical conductivity containing enough magnesium silicide to give it better mechanical properties after treatment. These conductors are generally made out of aluminium alloy 6201.

AAAC Conductor Features

Superior corrosion resistant performance

Low electrical losses comparing with ACSR Conductors

Higher performance of operating temperature

Equal diameter of Aluminum-Magnesium-Silicone Alloy Wire strands, light weight

Almost double strength of EC Aluminum wires and thereby having a longer span
