BS AAC Conductor All Aluminum Conductor Bare Aluminum Overhead Line Conductor Manufacturer

AAC Conductor (All Aluminum Conductor) is a high-conductivity bare stranded aluminum conductor widely used in overhead power transmission and distribution systems. It is engineered with EC-grade aluminum to deliver excellent electrical performance, lightweight structure, and long service life.

Our AAC conductors comply with global standards including ASTM B231, IEC 61089, BS 215, BS EN 50182, DIN 48201, JIS C3109, and AS/NZS 1531, ensuring full compatibility with international power grid projects.

🔎 What is AAC Conductor?

AAC (All Aluminum Conductor) is a bare overhead conductor made of concentric-lay stranded aluminum wires without steel reinforcement.

Key Characteristics:

• 100% EC-grade aluminum conductor
• Excellent electrical conductivity
• Lightweight and easy to install
• Suitable for short to medium span overhead lines
• Cost-efficient compared to copper conductors

⚙️ AAC Conductor Construction

AAC conductor is manufactured using precision stranding technology:

• Central straight aluminum wire (core)
• Multiple layers of helically stranded aluminum wires
• Concentric-lay construction
• Optional compacted structure for reduced diameter

Stranding Direction: Z-type (right-hand lay)

📌 This structure ensures:
- Uniform current distribution
- High mechanical stability
- Reduced power loss

📊 International Standards Compliance

Our AAC conductor is manufactured according to global standards:

• ASTM B231 (USA)
• IEC 61089 (International)
• BS 215 Part 1 (UK)
