// All Aluminium Alloy Conductor (AAAC)

Description
The conductor consists of Aluminium Magnesium - Silicon alloy wires stranded in successive layers in opposite direction and the outer layer is in the right hand direction Z. In case required, neutral grease shall be applied between the layers of AAAC except the outer layer.

Standard
The construction is done as per IS 398 part 4, EN 50182, ASTM B399, IEC 61089 and other International Specifications. The requirement/specifications given by the purchaser are also taken care of.

Characteristics
Strands of same diameter in Aluminium- Magnesium-Silicon group alloys, duly heat treated.

Has almost double the tensile strength of pure aluminium strands and thereby are ideal for long spans.

Suited as an alternate to ACSR or AAC depending on line engineer needs.

Low electrical losses compared to ACSR.

Superior corrosion resistance.

Ideal for seacoasts, saline and corrosion prone areas.

Suited for developing countries in order to avoid pilferage & thefts.

Application
AAAC bare conductors are used for primary and secondary overhead power transmission lines having long spans and high resistance to corrosion.
