These conductors are formed by several aluminum wires, being stranded in concentric layers. All the wires have the same nominal diameter.
Properties
As regards copper, these conductors have a great economical advantage on the low voltage overhead lines with bare conductors and insulated cables, on tie installations of distribution of medium and low voltages.
Main applications
Bare conductors: Low voltage lines. Linking bridges between the dead-end clamps of the high voltage lines installed with aluminum conductors steel reinforced. High voltage bus bars at the sub-stations.
