Aluminum stranded conductor——medium to high voltage transmission | Overhead

Aluminum stranded conductors consist of multiple twisted aluminum wires, creating a robust and flexible cable. Known for their high conductivity, lightweight, and corrosion resistance, they are widely used in power transmission. Common types include AAC (All Aluminum Conductor), AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor), and ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced), each designed for specific voltage levels and applications in overhead power transmission. Quick Quote

AAC (All Aluminum Conductor)

AAC consists of pure aluminum wires twisted together to form a single conductor. It is primarily used in low- and medium-voltage overhead transmission and distribution lines where high conductivity is required but mechanical strength is less critical. AAC is lightweight and has excellent conductivity, making it ideal for short spans in urban areas where the conductor does not face heavy mechanical loads. However, due to its lower tensile strength, AAC is not suited for long spans or regions with severe environmental conditions.

AAAC Conductor

These AAAC conductors are specially designed for medium and high-voltage overhead transmission systems. The use of aluminum alloy improves the mechanical strength compared to pure aluminum conductors, allowing these cables to withstand higher tensions and longer spans. They are widely used in high-voltage networks, where performance, reliability, and reduced sag are critical. Additionally, their corrosion resistance ensures low maintenance, making them suitable for a variety of challenging environments, including coastal regions and industrial areas.

AAAC 6101 Aluminium Alloy Conductor

The AAAC 6101 conductor is manufactured using a 6101 aluminum alloy, which provides excellent electrical conductivity with moderate tensile strength. This type of conductor is often used in medium-voltage transmission systems and distribution lines. Its superior conductivity makes it efficient for electrical transmission over longer distances, while its corrosion-resistant properties ensure long service life, even in demanding environments.

AAAC 6201 Aluminium Magnesium Silicon Alloy Conductor

This conductor is made from the 6201 aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy, known for its high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in overhead power transmission systems where durability and performance are essential. The 6201 alloy offers a good balance between strength and conductivity, making it suitable for long spans and areas exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)

ACSR conductors consist of an outer layer of aluminum strands surrounding a core of steel strands. The steel core provides high tensile strength, allowing ACSR to be used in long spans, such as river crossings or rugged terrain, where mechanical loads are significant. The aluminum outer layer ensures excellent conductivity. ACSR is commonly used in high-voltage transmission lines due to its strength and ability to carry heavy loads over long distances. The steel reinforcement also helps reduce sag under high tension, making it reliable in challenging environments.

Thermal-resistant Aluminium-alloy Conductor (TACSR)

Designed for high-temperature applications, offering excellent conductivity and enhanced mechanical strength. Made from a specialized aluminum alloy, it ensures reliable performance in power transmission and distribution, reducing overheating risks and prolonging system lifespan.

Aluminum Clad Steel Core Stranded Conductor (ACSR/AW)

This is a variant of ACSR where the steel core is aluminum-clad, offering enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard ACSR. ACSR/AW is ideal for use in areas prone to severe environmental conditions such as coastal regions or industrial zones with corrosive atmospheres. The aluminum cladding on the steel core extends the conductor’s life while maintaining the mechanical strength required for long spans and high-voltage transmission systems.

Aluminium Conductor Steel Supported (ACSS)

an overhead power transmission conductor featuring a steel core for strength and an aluminum outer layer for excellent conductivity. This design minimizes sag in long spans, making it ideal for high-voltage applications, especially in harsh environmental conditions, as it can withstand high wind and ice loads while ensuring efficient electrical performance.

Anti-Sag Overhead Aluminum Stranded Conductor

These conductors are designed to minimize sag, which can occur due to high tension or environmental factors like heat. Anti-sag aluminum conductors are engineered to maintain their tension and shape, reducing the risk of contact with trees, structures, or the ground. They are used in high-voltage transmission lines where maintaining consistent conductor height is crucial, especially in areas with varying temperature ranges or heavy loads. This ensures improved reliability and safety in overhead power transmission.

Chalco magnet wire

Magnet wire is a specialized insulated wire used in motors, transformers, and generators. It includes enameled aluminum, copper, and copper-clad aluminum wires, as well as paper-wrapped and glass fiber-wrapped types. The insulating layer, usually made of enamel or other materials, prevents short circuits and enhances thermal resistance, ensuring reliable performance in industrial and consumer electronics.Quick Quote
