All aluminum conductor (AAC) CSA C49

Application

AAC  overhead Conductor have been widely used in power transmission lines with various voltage levels,.Under the same weight,AAC is with higher DC resistance and lower cost than copper conductor. They  are also suitable for laying across rivers, valleys and the places where special geographical features exist.

This bare concentric-lay stranded conductor is constructed with a straight round central wire surrounded with one or more layers of helically laid wires. These conductors are also manufactured as compact conductors if required.

Construction

Aluminum 1350 wires are concentrically stranded and wrapped helically around a central wire. Each successive layer has six wires more than the previous underlying layer. Outer layer is right hand lay and reversed in successive layers.
