Aluminum Conductor

Aluminum conductors, mainly including All Aluminum Conductor (AAC) and Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR), are widely used in overhead power transmission and distribution systems due to their excellent performance and cost-effectiveness. Their application scenarios are mainly divided according to product types and project requirements, as follows:

1. Application Scenarios of All Aluminum Conductor (AAC)

2. Application Scenarios of Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)

3. General Application Scenarios

Aluminum Conductor include two core types, with detailed specifications and advantages as follows:

  1. All Aluminum Conductor (AAC)

It is a concentrically stranded conductor made of high-purity aluminum wires, featuring light weight, easy installation and excellent corrosion resistance due to its homogeneous structure. Suitable for medium and low voltage overhead transmission lines (below 35kV), especially for short-span projects, rural power grids and areas with low mechanical load requirements. We offer a full range of specifications from 10mm² to 1500mm², complying with international standards such as IEC 61089, ASTM B 711 and GB/T 1179.

  1. Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)

As the most commonly used overhead conductor, it consists of a high-strength coated steel core surrounded by concentric layers of aluminum wires, combining the high conductivity of aluminum and the strong tensile strength of steel. It is ideal for high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage transmission lines (up to 1000kV), long-span projects, river crossings and heavy ice areas. Additional corrosion protection is available by applying grease to the core if needed. Specifications range from 10/2mm² to 1440/120mm², meeting ASTM B 232, IEC 61089 and other international standards.
