AAC-All Aluminum Conductor

Concentric lay stranded Aluminium Conductors (AAC) are made out of Hard-Drawn aluminum wires.

Application
AAC is used mainly in urban areas where the spacing is short and the supports are close. All aluminium conductors are made up of one or more strands of aluminium wire depending on the end usage. AAC is also used extensively in coastal regions because it has a high degree of corrosion resistance.

Description
Concentric lay stranded Aluminium Conductors (AAC) are made out of Hard-Drawn aluminum wires.
