What types of conductors are used for different applications, and how do our tools handle them?
2025-08-13Beyond ACSR, other conductor types are tailored for specific applications, and our equipment is designed to handle them all.
-
AAC (All-Aluminum Conductor): Used in short-span urban distribution networks where a high strength-to-weight ratio is less critical than conductivity.
-
AAAC (All-Aluminum Alloy Conductor): Used where a balance of good strength and conductivity is needed, often for rural distribution.
-
HTLS (High-Temperature Low-Sag) Conductors: These advanced conductors are designed for high-capacity lines and use a composite or alloy core to minimize sag at high temperatures.
