Specification

AAC TP All Aluminum Bare Overhead Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors Twisted Pair

Application:

AAC TP (All Aluminum Conductor, Twisted Pair) is designed for overhead power distribution applications. These conductors are made entirely of aluminum, known for its excellent conductivity and lightweight properties. The concentric lay stranded design enhances the conductor's strength and flexibility, making it suitable for long-span installations. The twisted pair configuration minimizes inductive losses and improves the system's overall electrical stability, especially in areas with environmental interference. For use as overhead electric conductors. Fabricated from two component conductors of the same size twisted around each other.Operating temperature AAC/TP 75 °C

Also Known As:

AAC TP conductor, Overhead aluminum conductor, Bare twisted pair cable, Concentric lay stranded, Aluminum electrical wire, Overhead transmission lines, Aluminum twisted pair, AAC overhead cable, Bare aluminum conductor, Stranded aluminum wire.

Standards:

Referenced ASTM Standards include:
ASTM B230: Specification for Aluminum 1350–H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes.
ASTM B231: Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors.

Conductor: 

Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires.

Stranding: 

1350-H19 aluminum wires concentrically stranded, consisting of one or more layers of wires helically wrapped around a central wire.

Construction:

AAC/TP conductorsare manufactured with rotating payoffs, take-up and capstan, and controlled lay length, twisting conductors around each other to ensure:

Features:

The two twisted cable configuration is used in applications subject to aeolian vibration and galloping due to wind and ice.
• No torsion in the core wires.
• Equal length of the component conductors (monitored and controlled during twisting).
• Equal tension in the component conductors (monitored and controlled during twisting).
