All Aluminium Alloy Conductors (AAAC Conductors) are manufactured from an alloy of aluminium with magnesium and silicon. This aluminium alloy 6201 containing Magnesium (0.6 - 0.9 %) & Silicon (0.5 - 0.9%), has high electrical conductivity and when subjected to proper heat treatment has much superior mechanical properties as compared to conventional All Aluminium Conductors (AAC Conductors).
AAAC conductors manufactured out of this aluminium alloy 6201 (minimum conductivity 54%), have a better corrosion resistance and a better strength to weight ratio. On an equal diameter basis AAAC conductors possess higher electrical conductivity than ACSR conductors.
