250 MCM Sneezewort AAC All Aluminum Stranded Conductor

The 250 MCM Sneezewort AAC (All Aluminum Stranded Conductor) is a high-capacity overhead electrical conductor used in power transmission and distribution systems. It is constructed from high-purity aluminum strands, providing excellent electrical conductivity combined with lightweight handling and flexibility. The 250 MCM size indicates a cross-sectional area of approximately 250,000 circular mils, suitable for carrying substantial current loads efficiently. This conductor is designed to minimize electrical losses and ensure reliable performance over long service lives. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it well-suited for outdoor installations in diverse environmental conditions. The Sneezewort AAC conductor is commonly chosen by utility companies for high-voltage transmission lines where durability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are critical. It supports the safe and efficient delivery of electricity across extensive distances, maintaining stable power flow and reducing maintenance needs.

AAC Sneezewort Conductor Application

250 MCM Sneezewort 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.250 MCM Sneezewort 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.
