Made entirely from aluminum, this conductor offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for diverse environments.
Key Specifications:
- Code Word: Verbena
- Conductor Size: 700 MCM (Thousand Circular Mils)
- Number of Strands: 37
- Conductor Material: All Aluminum Conductor (AAC) - Aluminum alloy 1350
- Standard: ASTM B231
Product Overview:
The 700 MCM Verbena AAC Cable is a bare overhead conductor renowned for its homogeneous construction and inherent corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for challenging environments. Its lighter weight compared to other conductor types translates into easier handling during installation and allows for the use of simpler fittings, ultimately contributing to a more economical overall solution.
Applications:
The AAC Verbena conductor is versatile and suitable for a wide range of low and medium voltage overhead lines where conductor strength is not the primary limiting factor:
- Urban Overhead Lines: Commonly used in urban areas due to its ability to efficiently carry significant voltages over shorter distances, supporting robust city power grids.
- Coastal Areas: Its long-lasting, corrosion-resistant qualities make it an excellent choice for installations in humid, salty coastal environments.
- Railway and Subway Industries: Benefits from the conductor's durability and resistance to environmental factors encountered in railway and subway systems.
- Shipyards and Offshore Construction Sites: Ideal for providing power in demanding marine environments where durability and corrosion resistance are crucial.
- Primary and Secondary Distribution: Serves as a reliable conductor for both primary and secondary power distribution applications.
Standards:
Our AAC Verbena Conductor is manufactured and tested in strict accordance with the following industry standards:
- ASTM B-230: Aluminum 1350-H19 wire for electrical purposes.
- ASTM B-231: Concentric Lay Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors.
Construction:
The AAC Verbena Conductor features a construction of Aluminum alloy 1350 wires, which are concentrically lay-stranded. The wires are wrapped helically around a central wire, with each successive layer containing six more wires than the underlying layer. The outer layer is laid in a right-hand direction, and the lay direction is reversed in successive layers, ensuring a stable and robust conductor.
