Aluminium Conductor Steel-Reinforced
ACSR conductors consist of a central core of steel strands surrounded by one or more layers of aluminium wire. The steel core provides additional strength, allowing the conductor to be used in long spans and under high tension. ACSR is known for its high tensile strength, making it suitable for overhead power lines in areas with heavy wind or ice loading.
All Aluminium Conductor (AAC)
LT Aerial bunched cables with aluminum conductor manufactured as per IS :AAC conductors are made entirely of aluminium strands. They are used primarily in urban areas where spans are short and conductor strength is less critical. The high conductivity of aluminium makes AAC conductors an excellent choice for applications where weight and cost are important considerations. However, AAC is less strong compared to ACSR and AAAC conductors.
All Aluminium Alloy Conductor (AAAC)
AAAC conductors are made from aluminium alloys, which provide better mechanical strength and improved corrosion resistance compared to pure aluminium. AAAC is used in environments where strength and durability are essential, such as coastal regions or areas with severe weather conditions. The alloy composition enhances the conductor's performance, making it a reliable choice for overhead power transmission and distribution.
