Material: Composed of an aluminium alloy, typically 6201, containing magnesium (0.6-0.9%) and silicon (0.5-0.9%) to enhance
mechanical properties and conductivity.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: than other conductors for its strength, making installation easier.
Improved Electrical Conductivity: Offers superior electrical properties, resulting in lower power losses and greater efficiency.
High Tensile Strength: enough to withstand high mechanical stresses and suitable for long-distance transmission lines.
Advantages Over Other Conductors Vs. ACSR (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced): AAACs are lighter, stronger on an equal diameter basis, more resistant to corrosion, and more cost-effective due to
reduced tower and installation costs.
Overhead Power Lines: Used extensively in primary and secondary transmission and distribution lines.
Challenging Environments: Employed in coastal and highly polluted industrial areas due to their superior corrosion resistance.
