What is the key difference between ACSR and other aluminum conductors like AAC and AAAC?

2025-08-08

The core difference lies in their composition and strength.

  • AAC (All Aluminum Conductor) is made entirely of aluminum. It has high conductivity but low tensile strength, making it suitable for short spans in distribution networks.

  • AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor) is made from a high-strength aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy. It offers better strength than AAC and is often used for medium-span transmission lines.

  • ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced), which we specialize in, incorporates a strong steel core. This provides superior tensile strength, allowing for longer spans between towers and reducing the number of support structures needed. It's the most common choice for high-voltage, long-distance power transmission.
