AAC is a high-purity aluminum stranded conductor, with a minimum metal purity of 99.7%. It is primarily used in urban areas where the distance between supports is short. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, it is also suitable for coastal regions and is widely used in the Railway and Metro industries
ACSR conductors, with steel content ranging from 6% to 40%, offer varying strength levels. High-strength variants are used for river crossings, overhead earth wires, and long-span installations. Their high tensile strength, lightweight design, and larger diameter make them ideal for high and extra-high voltage overhead lines.
Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced (ACAR) is concentrically stranded wires of Aluminium on high strength Aluminium -Magnesium –Silicon (AlMgSi) alloy core. ACAR has got a better mechanical and electrical properties as compared to an equivalent ACSR, AAC or AAAC. A very good balance between the mechanical and electrical properties therefore makes ACAR the best choice where the ampacity, strength and light weight.
AAAC is used as a bare conductor cable in aerial circuits that need greater mechanical strength than AAC and better corrosion resistance than ACSR. Its sag characteristics and strength-to-weight ratio outperform both AAC and ACSR conductors.
AL59 is a type of metal alloy made from aluminum and other materials, with 59% of it being highly conductive. This means it can carry electricity efficiently, making it a good choice for electrical cables. The alloy is known for its balance of strength and conductivity, allowing it to be used in power lines and other electrical systems. It provides good performance while being lightweight and durable.
HTLS (High Temperature Low Sag) / HPC (High Performance Conductors) are special types of electrical wires designed to handle high temperatures and carry more electricity over long distances without sagging too much. These conductors are stronger and can operate at higher temperatures compared to regular wires, making them ideal for power lines that need to carry heavy loads or work in extreme conditions. They help improve the efficiency of electricity transmission while requiring fewer supports.
