BS 215 Part1 AAC Ant Wasp Butterfly Centipede Aluminium Conductor

AAC All Aluminum Conductor cable gives solid performance in overhead transmission and distribution applications. AAC conductors are utilized as a part of line designs that don’t require the strength of ACSR type conductors, while still expanding current conveying limit.

Concentric lay stranded Aluminum Conductors are created from one or more strands of hard drawn 1350-H19 aluminum wires. AAC All Aluminum Conductors are frequently used as low, medium and high voltage overhead lines. AAC has a decent erosion resistance because it is made ONLY from aluminum wires.  It has high value due to the low price, minimum conductivity of 61.2%, IACS low breaking quality and high creep values. AAC has the most noteworthy conductivity per weight among all uncovered overhead conductors.

AAC has seen broad use in urban zones where runs are generally short yet high conductivity is required. The runs need to be short to use AAC because it lacks the reinforcement strands that are built into other cables like the ACSR.  The brilliant erosion resistance of aluminum has made AAC a conductor of choice in all waterfront regions. Due to its generally poor strength to weight proportion, AAC had limited use in transmission lines and rural distribution because of the long spans that are typical in these situations.
