Characteristics

Electrical performance

AAC has high electrical conductivity and low power loss, making it suitable for efficient short to medium-distance power distribution, but it is less strong than ACSR for long spans.

Thermal performance

All Aluminium Conductor (AAC) has good thermal performance, allowing it to operate efficiently under normal load conditions with effective heat dissipation, but it has limited high-temperature strength compared to composite conductors, making it best suited for standard low-to-medium temperature applications.

Fire performance

All Aluminium Conductor (AAC) has limited fire resistance; it can withstand normal operating temperatures but may lose strength and conductivity under high heat or fire conditions, so it is not designed for fire-resistant or emergency power applications.

Mechanical performance

**All Aluminium Conductor (AAC) has low to moderate mechanical strength, making it suitable for short-span overhead lines, but it is less resistant to tension, wind load, and long-distance sag compared to reinforced conductors like ACSR.**
