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.
