What are all Aluminium conductors ACC made up of?

Stranded aluminum wire is the building block of all aluminum conductors, or AAC. The conductors are made up of several aluminum strands that have been twisted into one. Good electrical conductivity is provided by high-purity aluminum, which is usually used to make the individual aluminum strands.

In overhead power transmission and distribution systems, AAC conductors are frequently utilized, especially for low-voltage distribution lines and short transmission distances. AAC conductors are inexpensive and lightweight due to their all-aluminum design. They work well in metropolitan regions and secondary service drops, for example, where mechanical strains and spans are quite low.

AAC conductors have a lesser tensile strength than conductors with steel reinforcement, like ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced), despite having superior electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Thus, when there is a lower need for mechanical strength, AAC conductors are usually utilized.
