    1. AAAC stands for All Aluminum Alloy Conductors, which are made of an aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy system. 2. AAAC has advantages over conventional ACSR conductors including greater corrosion resistance, lower power losses, higher ampacity, and a longer lifespan of over 60 years. 3. AAAC has physical properties that make it suitable for overhead power transmission, such as a high melting temperature, density, hardness, conductivity, tensile strength, and thermal stability up to 90°C.

    AAAC - All Aluminium Alloy Conductors

    AAAC, which has been in use for several decades abroad, has been adopted now in India
    as well. The alloy is based on Aluminum - Magnesium - Silicon System (Al-Mg-Si).
    Aluminum Alloy Conductor is a generic name rather than the name of a particular
    conductor. The group generally includes:
    AAAC - High strength comprising heat treatable aluminum alloy wires
    AAAC - High Conductivity comprising of heat treatable aluminum alloy wires
    Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced comprising of EC grade aluminum wires and
    high strength aluminum alloy wires with adequate conductivity
    Aerially Bunched Conductors comprising of compacted, bare-insulated, high strength
    aluminum alloy conductor as neutral messenger wire bunched with three to five
    insulated EC grade aluminum phase conductors and lighting conductors.
    ADVANTAGES OF AAAC
    1. CORROSION RESISTANCE: AAAC exhibits excellent corrosion resistance
    especially in coastal and polluted industrial areas due to absence of steel core.
    2. LOWER POWER LOSSES: Since AAAC is homogeneous (with all strands of
    Aluminum Alloy) with no steel component, its resistance is lesser in comparison to
    that of ACSR of same size.
    3. HIGHER AMPACITY: AAAC can carry at least 15-20% extra current as compared
    to ACSR of same size.
    4. LONGER LIFE: Experience in foreign countries shows that All Aluminum Alloy
    Conductors are in service for more than 60 years, which is about twice the life of
    ACSR Conductors.
    5. SURFACE HARDNESS: The surface hardness of AAAC is 80 BHN as compared
    to 35 BHN of ACSR. This reduces damage to its surface while handling, and
    therefore it leads to lesser corona losses and radio interference at EHV.
    6. THERMAL STABLITY: AAAC are stable up to 90C against ACSR which are
    stable up to 75C.
    7. HIGHER STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO: Since AAAC has higher strength to
    weight ratio, span can be increased from 2 to 15% resulting in overall reduction of
    cost in towers / supports and other accessories in transmission line systems.
