AAAC-All Aluminium Alloy Conductors

The all-aluinium alloy conductors are bare overhead conductor
This section deals with heat-treatable magnesium silicon type aluminium alloys to BS EN 50182, the electrical and mechanical properties of which all fall within the values suggested by Publication 104 of the international Eletro technical commission. Conductors to all other recognized specifications can also be supplied.

The alloy referred to have higher strength but lower conductivity than pure aluminum. Being lighter, alloy conductros can sometimes be used to advantage in place of the more conventional ACSR; Having lower breaking loads than the latter, their use becomes particularly favorable when ice and win loadings are low.

The conductor can also be producted accordingstandards:
