1431 MCM Carnation AAC All Aluminum Stranded Conductor

The 1431 MCM Carnation AAC (All Aluminum Conductor) is a high-capacity overhead transmission conductor designed for efficient and reliable electrical power transmission. With a cross-sectional area of approximately 1,431,000 circular mils, this conductor is made entirely of high-quality aluminum strands, offering excellent electrical conductivity combined with lightweight flexibility for ease of installation and handling. The "Carnation" design features a specialized strand configuration that provides enhanced mechanical strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors such as wind, ice, and corrosion. It is typically used in high-voltage transmission lines, utility distribution systems, and industrial power applications where reliable, low-loss performance is critical. The 1431 MCM Carnation AAC conductor is engineered for long service life, minimal maintenance, and efficient power delivery, making it an ideal choice for modern electrical infrastructure needs.

AAC Carnation Conductor Application

1431 MCM Carnation AAC Cable can be used in low and medium voltage overhead lines. It’s commonly used in urban areas because of its ability to carry significant voltages over short distances. The long-lasting, corrosion resistant qualities of aluminum make this conductor a popular choice for use in coastal areas as well as for use in the railway and subway industries. Shipyards and offshore construction sites benefit from the conductor’s durability.1431 MCM Carnation AAC Cable can be used for most overhead transmission duties when conductor strength is not a factor. The conductor can also be used for primary and secondary distribution applications.

AAC (all aluminum conductor) is the most economical bare overhead conductor due to its lighter weight. It offers easier handling during installation and use of simpler fittings. The wire is corrosion resistant due to its homogeneous construction.
