Overhead Line Conductor, ACSR, Curlew

AAC-All aluminum conductors:
All aluminum conductors are the most favored type for use in the construction of relatively short span distribution schemes and are in common use on lines for voltage up to 60 kV.
Another frequent application for all aluminum conductors is in flexible busbar connections.
Althou aluminum to copper connections can be made, it is better to use aluminum conductor for service connections, as varous forms of covered cable being available for this purpose.
The data sheets show the most common sizes of conductors but other sizes, to any recognized standards or customer specification can also be supplied.
AAC insulated with xlpe or pvc can be supplied as per the customers’ requirement.
Bare Conductor AAC All Aluminum Conductor AAC to DIN 48201

ACSR=Aluminum conductor steel reinforced
Construction:
The mixed construction of ACSR makes it a very flexible medium from a design point of view. By varying the relative proportions of aluminum and steel the ideal conductor for any particular application can be produced.
Protection against corrosion
A coating of non-oxidizing grease is normally applied to the steel cores of all conductors, in addition to the protection offered by the galvanizing of the steel wires. One or more layers of the aluminum wires can if required, be supplied partiallly or fully greased.

AAAC-All aluminum alloy conductors
This section deals with heat-treatable magnesium silicon type aluminum alloys to BS EN 50182, the electrical and mechanical properties of which all fall within the values suggested by Publication 104 of the international Electro technical Commission. Conductors to all other recognized specifications can also be supplied.
The alloys referred to have higher strength but lower conductivity than pure aluminum. Being lighter, alloy conductors can sometimes be used to advantage in place of the more conventional ACSR; Having lower breaking loads than the latter, their use becomes particularly favorable when ice and win loadings are low.
