AAC / AAAC / ACSR Bare Conductors
Overview

AAC / AAAC / ACSR Bare Conductors: product guide

AAC, AAAC and ACSR are stranded bare conductors for overhead transmission and distribution. Selection starts with the electrical and mechanical requirements of the line.

AAC

All Aluminium Conductor uses aluminium strands throughout. Compare its electrical and mechanical requirements with the line design.

AAAC

All Aluminium Alloy Conductor uses aluminium-alloy strands. Specify the alloy and conductor designation required by the utility.

ACSR

Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced combines aluminium strands with a reinforcing steel core. Specify the strand construction and mechanical requirements.

Applications

Typical applications

Use 1Overhead distribution feeders
Use 2Overhead transmission circuits
SelectionUse the line-design conductor schedule to align electrical loading, span, tension and corrosion conditions with the conductor designation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do AAC, AAAC and ACSR differ?

AAC uses aluminium strands, AAAC uses aluminium-alloy strands, and ACSR combines aluminium strands with steel reinforcement. The line design and utility specification determine which construction is appropriate.

Can an enquiry follow a utility specification?

Attach the utility specification, conductor schedule or BOQ, including the required designation, electrical and mechanical criteria, quantities and reel requirements. Identify any required tests and acceptance documents.

What should accompany an enquiry?

Send the product requirements listed above with your specification or BOQ. Mark any items still to be decided so that construction, documentation and delivery requirements can be reviewed before quotation.
