All Aluminum Conductors
(AAC)
Hard drawn Aluminum wires, stranded in successive layers, in opposite direction to form the Aluminum stranded AAC conductor
All Aluminum Conductors(AAC) can be used as a bare overhead conductor for distribution lines. Because of its low strength-to-weight ratio, (AAC) has limited use in transmission lines. AAC is extensively used in urban areas where spans are usually short but high conductivity is required
The above values of current carrying capacity are calculated due to frequency up to 60 Hz, assuming an ambient temperature of 35 °C, final temperature of 80 °C, wind velocity of 0.6 m/sec, solar radiation of 900 W/m², emissivity coefficient of 0.6, solar radiation absorption coefficient of 0.5
