Construction & selection
All-aluminium alloy conductor (AAAC) family with bare stranded aluminium-alloy construction and no steel core. The illustration is representative; alloy and mechanical requirements must be confirmed in the selected datasheet.
For technical data and a quotation, use Contact in the main navigation and include this cable family in your enquiry.
Construction
Illustrated variant: AAAC bare aluminium alloy
- Aluminium-alloy strands
Aluminium-alloy strands make up the bare current-carrying conductor.
- Bare stranded conductor assembly
The strands are laid together as a bare conductor, without insulation or an outer sheath.
