AAC and AAAC (All Aluminium and All Aluminium Alloy Conductor) - Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Conductors

This document provides information about two types of aluminum conductors used for power transmission: AAC and AAAC. AAC conductors are made of pure aluminum and have a high conductivity but low mechanical resistance, making them suitable for short spans. AAAC conductors contain magnesium and silicon aluminum alloys, giving them higher mechanical resistance but lower conductivity than AAC. AAAC conductors also have a smaller diameter than other conductor types like ACSR. Tables 1-4 provide conductivity and tensile strength data for various diameters of AAC and AAAC conductors.

AAC and AAAC (All Aluminium And All Aluminium Alloy

Conductor) - Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy Conductors

AAC (All Aluminium Conductor)


This kind of conductor is composed by one or more layer of pure Aluminium AA1350-H19, hard
drawn. The conductivity is 61%IACS. This kind of conductor has a very low value of specific
mechanical resistance and it’s used for short lengths (for example next to the stations) and not for
long spans.
This kind of conductor has a very good resistance to corrosion and his modulus of elasticity is
characterized by a law that consider the formation of the conductor (number of wires and layers).

AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductor)


The material used on these conductor is an Aluminium alloy AA-6101. It’s a special alloy with
Magnesium and Silicium with an excellent conductivity value (the average is 53%IACS).
The specific mechanical resistance is higher than AAC conductor (more or less the double),
maintaining a high corrosion resistance.
Compared to ACSR, this kind of conductor is characterized by a lower diameter and the overloads
due to the wind pressure are lower.
