556.5 MCM Mistletoe AAC All Aluminum Stranded Conductor

The 556.5 MCM Mistletoe AAC (All Aluminum Stranded Conductor) is a high-capacity overhead conductor designed for reliable power transmission and distribution. Made from high-purity aluminum strands, it offers excellent electrical conductivity, lightweight construction, and flexibility, facilitating easier installation and maintenance. With a cross-sectional area of approximately 556,500 circular mils, the Mistletoe AAC conductor is well-suited for high-current applications in utility and industrial power systems. Its corrosion-resistant properties ensure durability and long-term performance in outdoor environments. The conductor's high conductivity helps to reduce electrical losses, improving overall system efficiency. Ideal for overhead lines requiring a durable, efficient, and high-capacity conductor solution.

AAC 556.5 MCM Mistletoe Conductor Application

556.5 MCM Mistletoe 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.556.5 MCM Mistletoe 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.
