AAC (All Aluminium Conductor) remains one of the most widely used overhead transmission and distribution conductors due to its simplicity, excellent conductivity, and cost-effectiveness. For utility companies, EPC contractors, and industrial power projects, choosing the right AAC conductor supplier ensures long-term system reliability. As a global manufacturer of overhead conductors and power cables, HNBF Power delivers high-performance AAC conductors engineered for demanding electrical networks.


What Is an AAC Conductor?

An AAC conductor is a type of stranded overhead conductor made entirely of high-purity aluminium wires. It offers excellent electrical conductivity, low weight, and a smooth surface ideal for short- and medium-span transmission lines. Because of its all-aluminium composition, AAC is corrosion-resistant and widely used in urban distribution systems where spans are shorter, and mechanical loads are moderate.


Key Properties of AAC Conductors

1. High Conductivity

AAC conductors are manufactured from 1350-H19 aluminium, providing up to 61% IACS conductivity. This enables efficient power transfer with minimal energy loss.

2. Lightweight Construction

With no steel core, AAC is significantly lighter than ACSR and ACAR. This reduces structural stress on poles, making it ideal for city networks and areas with dense infrastructure.

3. Excellent Corrosion Resistance

Pure aluminium strands naturally withstand atmospheric corrosion, ensuring long service life even in coastal or industrial environments.

4. Easy Installation & Maintenance

AAC conductors are flexible, easy to string, and require minimal maintenance—important for utilities seeking fast installation and long-term reliability.


Applications of AAC Conductors

AAC is commonly used for:

  • Urban and suburban distribution lines

  • Low- and medium-voltage overhead networks

  • Power grid reinforcement and upgrades

  • Environment-friendly areas requiring corrosion-resistant conductors

Cities with short pole-to-pole spans frequently use AAC due to its performance and cost efficiency.

FAQs

1. What is the main difference between AAC and ACSR?

AAC is made entirely of aluminium, while ACSR has a steel core for higher mechanical strength. AAC is ideal for short spans; ACSR works better for long spans and high tensions.

2. Is AAC suitable for coastal regions?

Yes. Pure aluminium offers strong corrosion resistance, making AAC suitable for coastal and humid environments.

3. What standards do HNBF Power AAC conductors follow?

HNBF Power produces AAC conductors according to IEC 61089, ASTM B231, BS 215, and other international standards.

4. Can AAC conductors be customized?

Yes. HNBF Power provides customized conductor sizes, stranding configurations, and packaging options based on project requirements.

5. What voltage levels use AAC?

AAC is mostly used for low- and medium-voltage overhead distribution networks, especially in urban infrastructure.
