AAC

All Aluminum Conductor

All aluminum 1350 conductor concentric lay -stranded

Complete Conductor:

Bare all-aluminum 1350 conductors (AAC) are concentric-lay-stranded, consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically around a straight round central wire. Each successive layer has six wires more than the layer immediately beneath. Greater flexibility is provided by increasing the number

of strands for a specific cross-sectional area. AAC conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issues of ASTM (specifications B230 and B231 & DIN). The more commonly used standings are 7, 19, 37, 61 and 91 standings are also available

Complete Conductor (cont'd):

Class AA standings are used for bare overhead lines. The direction of lay for the outer layer is right- hand and is normally reversed in successive layers. The temper is full hard drawn (H19).

Features and Benefits:

Optimum economy is provided since the lighter weight means lower unit length costs, easier handling in installation and less-complex fittings. All-aluminum conductors have an inherent high corrosion resistance due to their homogeneous construction.
