APPLICATION
All aluminum conductors belong to bare conductors, which mainly play the role of transmitting electrical energy. Based on different voltages, the wire cross-sectional area is also different. AAC cable is commonly used for general distribution lines with a small force and small span. But it is not allowed to contact with trees.

Application:
Used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution. The AAAC conductor is designed to get a better strength-to-weight ratio and offer improved electrical properties, excellent sag-tension characteristics, and superior corrosion resistance when compared with ACSR. As compared to a conventional ACSR conductor, the lighter weight, comparable strength & current carrying capacity, lower electrical losses, and superior corrosion resistance have given AAAC a wide acceptance in the distribution and medium & high voltage transmission lines.
ACSR conductor has the advantages of simple structure, convenient erection and maintenance, low line cost, and large transmission capacity. And they are convenient for laying across special geographical conditions. Such as rivers and valleys, good electrical conductivity, and sufficient mechanical.
Design
1 Aluminum conductor with increased breaking load, round stranded compressed (RM)
2 Core insulation (XPLE black, UV-resistant, not flame retardant); 2 up to 4 cores of the equal cross-section are stranded together in left-hand lay, additionally 1 or 2 cores of the reduced cross-section can be co-stranded.

Application of ACSR
1. The higher-strength ACSR conductors are widely used in power transmission lines with various voltage levels.
2. The higher-strength ACSR conductors are commonly used for river crossings, overhead earth wires, and installations involving extra-long spans.
3. The higher-strength ACSR conductors are also suitable for laying across rivers and valleys where special geographical features exist.
