Construction

All Aluminum-Alloy Conductors (AAAC) is a concentric-lay-stranded conductor consisting of aluminum-alloy wires available in both single layer and multi layer constructions.

Standard

All Aluminum-Alloy Conductors [AAAC) can be supplied to meet various International standards and National standard as follows :

IEC 61089

ASTM B399

BS EN 50182

AS 1531

However, LS VINA Cable & System can also supply a range of alternative designs to meet customer-specified requirements.

NOTE1 Direction of lay of external layer is right-hand (Z)

NOTE2 Guideline values of current carrying capacity are valid up to a frequency of 60 Hz, assuming a wind velocity of 0,6 m/s, the effect of solar radiation for Austria, an initial ambient temperature of 35^oC and a conductor temperature of 80^oC. For special applications, when there is no air turbulence,the values should be reduced by 30%.
