METSEC BARE ALUMINIUM CONDUCTOR 16MM – Loose

The main classifications of bare conductor are AAC (All Aluminium Conductor), AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductor) or ACSR (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced). AAC is most commonly found in urban areas with frequent supports and short spans. It is also used in coastal regions where salt in the air can cause corrosion – the All Aluminium wire providing corrosion resistance – and specified for OHL electrification. AAAC tend to be specified where greater mechanical resistance is required and where there is a reduced sag characteristic. The ACSR, with its steel reinforcement provides additional strength and where the spans run for larger distances, such as across rivers. The advantages of AAC, AAAC and ACSR come in their lightweight properties. These overhead lines have no specified voltage rating – it will depend on the type of installation – although the higher corona limit of ACSR makes it beneficial when used with high voltage and extra-high voltage transmission.
