The 700 MCM Flag All Aluminum Conductor (AAC) is a high-capacity bare stranded conductor designed for efficient and economical overhead power transmission and distribution. Manufactured from 1350-H19 aluminum, the Flag AAC offers an optimal blend of excellent conductivity, reduced weight, and superior corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for diverse overhead line applications, especially where conductor strength is not the primary limiting factor.
Key Features:
- Conductor Type: All Aluminum Conductor (AAC)
- Size: 700 MCM (Thousand Circular Mils)
- Code Word: Flag
- Stranding: Composed of 61 concentrically laid strands of 1350-H19 aluminum wire, ensuring high flexibility, robust construction, and efficient current flow.
- Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Thanks to its homogeneous aluminum composition, the Flag AAC conductor provides outstanding resistance to corrosion. This makes it particularly well-suited for deployment in challenging environments such as coastal regions, industrial areas, and other locations where corrosive elements are present.
- Economical & Lightweight: As a pure aluminum conductor, it offers a cost-effective solution for overhead lines due to its lighter weight. This characteristic simplifies handling during installation and allows for the use of more economical fittings, contributing to lower overall project costs.
- High Electrical Conductivity: Crafted from high-grade 1350-H19 aluminum wire, ensuring maximum electrical efficiency and minimal power loss.
- Standard Compliant: Fully adheres to ASTM B-230 and ASTM B-231 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality, reliability, and performance.
Applications:
The 700 MCM Flag AAC Conductor is a versatile choice for a broad spectrum of overhead power applications:
- Low and Medium Voltage Overhead Lines: Commonly deployed in general power transmission and distribution networks.
- Urban and Suburban Areas: Its high current-carrying capacity over shorter spans makes it efficient for densely populated areas.
- Coastal and Corrosive Environments: The inherent corrosion resistance ensures long operational life in harsh atmospheric conditions.
- Industrial Facilities: Provides reliable power supply where a lightweight and durable conductor is required.
- Primary and Secondary Distribution: An efficient and economical solution for various distribution duties.
Construction:
The 700 MCM Flag AAC conductor is meticulously constructed from multiple strands of 1350-H19 aluminum wire. These wires are concentrically lay-stranded, wrapped helically around a central wire. Each successive layer contains six more wires than the underlying layer. The outermost layer features a right-hand lay, with the lay direction reversed in successive layers to enhance the conductor's stability, compactness, and overall mechanical integrity.
Applicable Standards:
Our 700 MCM Flag AAC conductor is manufactured in strict compliance with the following industry-recognized standards:
- ASTM B-230: Aluminum 1350-H19 wire for electrical purposes.
- ASTM B-231: Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors.
