795 MCM Arbutus AAC All Aluminum Stranded Conductor

The 795 MCM Arbutus AAC (All Aluminum Conductor) is a high-capacity overhead conductor designed for reliable power transmission and distribution. Made from high-quality aluminum strands, it offers excellent electrical conductivity, lightweight installation, and flexibility, making it suitable for various utility and industrial applications. The Arbutus color coding assists in circuit identification and system organization. With a cross-sectional area of approximately 795,000 circular mils (MCM), this conductor is capable of handling high current loads efficiently. Its corrosion-resistant properties ensure long-term durability in outdoor environments, and its electrical performance helps reduce energy losses. The 795 MCM Arbutus AAC conductor is ideal for high-capacity overhead lines requiring a durable, reliable, and efficient conductor solution.

AAC Arbutus Conductor Application

795 MCM Arbutus 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.795 MCM Arbutus 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.
