312.8 Butte AAAC – All Aluminum Alloy 6201 Conductor

312.8 Butte AAAC – All Aluminum Alloy 6201 Conductor

Allowable Ampacity for 312.8 Butte AAAC: 460 Amps

Applications:

AAAC – All Aluminum Alloy Conductor is used for primary and secondary overhead transmission and distribution services. This has been designed utilizing a high-strength aluminum alloy to achieve a high strength-to weight ratio and better sag characteristic. The conductor has a higher resistance to corrosion than ACSR.

Also Known As:
