What are the main types of conductors used for 11kv overhead lines, and what are their applications?
2025-08-13We offer a variety of conductors to suit different project requirements. The most common types for 11kv lines are:
-
All Aluminium Conductor (AAC): Made entirely of aluminium, this conductor is lightweight and has high conductivity. It is best suited for urban areas with short spans and frequent supports.
-
All Aluminium Alloy Conductor (AAAC): This conductor is made from high-strength aluminium alloy. It offers better strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and lower sag compared to AAC, making it suitable for longer spans.
-
Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR): Featuring a central steel core surrounded by aluminium strands, ACSR provides excellent mechanical strength and is ideal for long-span applications where high tensile strength is required.
