AAC/TW
- All Aluminum Conductor.
- Trapezoidal Shaped Conductors.
- Bare.
Applications
Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductor (AAC/TW) is designed for use as a bare overhead conductor. There are two designs of AAC/TW. One design gives an equal area of aluminum when compared to the standard AAC conductor sizes. The other design is conductor with overall outside diameters that are in fixed-increments. Use of this conductor in the equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when compared with standard AAC conductor. Use of this conductor in the fixed-increment diameter design allows more ampacity in an equal diameter conductor when compared with standard AAC conductor.
