AAC cable—short for All Aluminum Conductor—is one of the most widely used overhead conductors in low- and medium-voltage distribution networks. Known for its excellent conductivity, lightweight structure, and cost-effectiveness, AAC cable is a preferred choice for engineers and utility procurement teams looking for reliable, corrosion-resistant power delivery solutions.
As a global manufacturer of overhead conductors and power cables, HNBF Power produces AAC cables engineered to meet international electrical standards, ensuring stable performance across urban, rural, and coastal installations.
What Is AAC Cable?
AAC cable is made from high-purity, stranded aluminum wires designed for overhead transmission and distribution lines. Its key advantages include:
Superior Conductivity: Aluminum offers excellent conductivity-to-weight ratio.
Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for coastal or industrial regions where steel-reinforced conductors may face corrosion challenges.
Lightweight Structure: Easier to install, reducing tower load and installation costs.
Cost-Effective Performance: Economical compared to ACSR or AAAC alternatives when long spans or heavy mechanical loads are not required.
Technical Characteristics of AAC Cable
High Electrical Efficiency
AAC cables provide low electrical resistance due to their multi-strand aluminum construction. This makes them suitable for short-span distribution lines where mechanical stress is minimal.
Thermal and Mechanical Properties
AAC cables maintain stable performance under standard conductor operating temperatures. While they are not as strong as ACSR cables, they deliver excellent tensile strength for short distribution spans.
Corrosion Resistance for Harsh Environments
Unlike steel-reinforced cables, AAC conductors do not contain materials prone to rust. Their pure aluminum composition ensures long-term reliability in sea salt, humidity, and chemical exposure.
Applications of AAC Cable
AAC cable is commonly used in:
Urban overhead distribution systems
Short-span rural distribution lines
Coastal transmission networks
Industrial power grids
Upgrades and replacements for aging aluminum lines
HNBF Power manufactures AAC conductors tailored for specific voltage classes, installation requirements, and regulatory standards worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the main benefit of using AAC cable?
AAC cable offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for short-span overhead distribution lines, especially in coastal or industrial environments.
2. How does AAC cable differ from ACSR cable?
AAC cable is made entirely of aluminum, while ACSR cable includes a steel core for higher tensile strength. AAC is favored for short spans, whereas ACSR is used for long spans requiring higher mechanical support.
3. Can AAC cable be customized for my project?
Yes. HNBF Power offers customized conductor sizes, layer configurations, and packaging based on project specifications.
4. What standards do HNBF Power’s AAC cables follow?
HNBF Power manufactures AAC conductors according to ASTM, IEC, BS, DIN, and other international standards as required.
5. Is AAC cable suitable for high-voltage applications?
AAC cable is primarily used for low- and medium-voltage overhead distribution. For long-span or high-voltage lines, AAAC or ACSR conductors are typically recommended.
