The 2 AWG Iris AAC conductor is a concentric-lay-stranded cable made of 7 aluminum alloy 1350 wires. It's built to ASTM B231 standards for bare overhead electrical conductors.
Key Features and Applications 💡
The 2 AWG Iris AAC conductor is well-suited for low and medium voltage overhead lines, especially in urban and coastal areas. Its corrosion-resistant aluminum construction makes it ideal for harsh environments like marine settings, shipyards, and offshore sites. It's also a cost-effective option because of its lighter weight, which simplifies installation and requires less complex fittings.
The cable can be used for most overhead transmission tasks where high mechanical strength isn't the primary concern. It's also suitable for both primary and secondary distribution networks.
