AAC cable (All-Aluminum Conductor) remains one of the most widely used overhead conductor types for low and medium-voltage distribution networks. Its lightweight structure, excellent conductivity, and cost-effective performance make it essential for utility companies, EPC contractors, and industrial power projects. As a global manufacturer of overhead conductors and power cables, HNBF Power delivers high-performance AAC cables engineered for long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Below is an in-depth technical overview of AAC cable specifications, applications, and advantages written for engineers, planners, and procurement professionals seeking dependable conductor solutions.


What Is AAC Cable?

AAC cable consists of high-purity, hard-drawn aluminum stranded wires without steel reinforcement. The conductor is optimized for short-span distribution lines where high conductivity and corrosion resistance are critical.

HNBF Power manufactures AAC cables using advanced stranding technology and precise quality control to meet international and utility standards. This ensures consistent mechanical strength, stable electrical performance, and long field life.


Technical Characteristics of AAC Cable

1. High Electrical Conductivity

AAC cables are made from 99.7%+ aluminum, delivering excellent conductivity. This makes them ideal for urban and suburban distribution networks with shorter spans.

2. Lightweight Design for Simplified Installation

The absence of a steel core reduces conductor weight significantly. This allows:

  • Faster installation

  • Lower tower and hardware requirements

  • Easier maintenance across the line route

3. Corrosion Resistance for Coastal & Industrial Environments

Aluminum’s natural resistance to corrosion makes AAC cable suitable for:

  • Coastal zones

  • High-humidity regions

  • Chemical-exposed industrial environments

HNBF Power enhances corrosion protection through controlled surface treatment and tight stranding.

4. Engineered Stranding Options

AAC conductors are available in multiple stranding configurations such as:

  • 7-strand

  • 19-strand

  • 37-strand

  • 61-strand

Higher strand counts provide improved flexibility and reduced skin effect, supporting efficient current transmission.


Applications of AAC Cable

AAC cable is ideal for:

  • Low-voltage and medium-voltage distribution lines

  • Urban power networks with short spans

  • Areas requiring excellent corrosion resistance

  • Upgrades or replacements of older copper-based networks

With engineering expertise in overhead conductors, HNBF Power customizes AAC cable solutions based on span length, climatic conditions, and network design requirements
