Primarily used for overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service for construction. To be used at voltages of 0.6/1kV and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated conductors.
AAAC is used as a bare overhead conductor for power transmission and distribution lines, on aerial circuits that require a larger mechanical resistance than AAC, and a better corrosion resistance than ACSR. The sag characteristics and the strength-to-weight ratio of AAAC is better than both AAC / ACSR.
AAC is used mainly in urban areas where the spacing is short and the supports are close. All aluminium conductors are made up of one or more strands of aluminium wire depending on the end usage. AAC is also used extensively in coastal regions because it has a high degree of corrosion resistance.
Used as bare overhead transmission conductor and as primary and secondary distribution conductor and messenger support. ACSR conductors where the aluminum wires are replaced with the high strength aluminum alloy material. These super high strength conductors are used in river crossings or for long span applications where the traditional ACSR conductor will not work.
