Aluminum Conductor AAC
Conductor is widely used in overhead electric power transimission lines and distribution system with various grade voltages. It is one of the main products to form electrified wire network.
(1). Specification:
AAC is composed by bare concentric-lay-stranded aluminum wires with a straight round central aluminum wire surrounded by one or more layers of helically layed aluminum wires.
(2). Application:
2.Under the same weight, AAC is with higher resistance and lower cost than
Copper conductor.
3.Aluminium is light, so AAC is easy to lay.
