Applications:
AAC is used mainly in urban areas where the spacing is short and the supports are closer together. The advantage
of AAC conductors is that they have a high degree of corrosion resistance; for this reason they are used extensively in coastal
areas. AAC Conductors were developed as a consequence of the galvanic corrosion that ACSR conductors are susceptible to.
Construction:
Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded.
Specifications:
AAC bare conductors meet or exceed the following ASTM specifications:
B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H119 for Electrical Purposes B-231 Aluminum Conductors,
Concentric-Lay-Stranded B-400 Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors
