2. AAC conductors
AAC is also known as aluminium stranded conductor.These cables can also be recognised by their full names of all aluminum conductors(AAC).

3. Application
Aluminium Conductors are predominantly used in Overhead Line applications and for primary and secondary power distribution.

AAC conductors is used mainly in urban areas where the spacing is short and the supports are closer together.

The advantage of AAC conductors is that they have a high degree of corrosion resistance;for this reason they are used extensively in coastal areas.

AAC were developed as a consequence of the galvanic corrosion that ACSR conductors are susceptible to.
