Applications
Used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution.
Designed utilizing a high-strength aluminum alloy to achieve a high strength-to-weight
ratio; affords better sag characteristics. Aluminum alloy gives AAAC higher
resistance to corrosion than ACSR.
|
Construction
Standard 6201-T81 high strength aluminum conductors, conforming to ASTM
Specification B-399, are concentric-lay-stranded, similar in construction
and appearance to 1350 grade aluminum conductors. Standard 6201 alloy conductors
are similar to other alloy conductors commercially known as Ardival, Aldrey
or Almelec. They were developed to fill the need for an economical conductor
for overhead applications requiring higher strength than that obtainable
with 1350 grade aluminum conductors, but without a steel core. The DC resistance
at 20°C of the 6201-T81 conductors and of the standard ACSRs of the same
diameter are approximately the same. Conductors of the 6201-T81 alloys are
harder and, therefore, have a greater resistance to abrasion than conductors
of 1350-H19 grade aluminum.

1. Resistance
is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity
of 52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz.
2. Current
ratings are based on 75°C conductor temperature, 25°C ambient, 2ft/s wind,
96/watts/sq. foot sun, 0.5 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.
