The 336.4 MCM Tulip AAC Cable is a concentric-lay-stranded bare conductor made entirely of 1350-H19 aluminum wires. As an All Aluminum Conductor (AAC), it is widely used in low to medium voltage overhead distribution lines, especially in urban environments where spans are short and mechanical strength is less critical.
Thanks to its lightweight construction, excellent corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, AAC Tulip is a preferred choice in areas with high humidity, salt exposure, and polluted atmospheres, such as coastal regions, railways, shipyards, and offshore platforms.
Applications
-
Overhead power transmission and distribution
-
Primary and secondary distribution lines
-
Utility networks in urban and coastal regions
-
Railways, subways, and industrial facilities
-
Offshore and marine environments where corrosion resistance is key
Key Features
-
Lightweight and easy to install
-
Excellent corrosion resistance due to homogeneous aluminum structure
-
Suitable for environments requiring high conductivity and moderate mechanical strength
-
Compatible with standard fittings
-
Cost-effective solution for bare overhead conductors
Standards
The 336.4 MCM Tulip AAC Conductor complies with the following international standards:
-
ASTM B-230 – Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes
-
ASTM B-231 – Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors
Construction
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Conductor Material | Aluminum 1350-H19, concentric lay stranded |
| Stranding Pattern | Central wire with successive layers helically wrapped, each layer increasing by 6 wires |
| Outer Layer | Right-hand lay, alternating with reversed lay in successive layers |
The conductor is designed to maintain uniform conductivity and flexibility, making it ideal for overhead systems where installation ease and corrosion resistance are prioritized.
