Available Aluminium Overhead Cable Sizes
| Conductor Size | Common Conductor Type | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| 35mm² | AAC / AAAC / ACSR | Distribution and overhead feeder lines |
| 50mm² | AAC / AAAC / ACSR | LV/MV distribution applications |

Actual current-carrying capacity, construction, strand configuration and suitable voltage level depend on the exact conductor specification and installation conditions.
What Is AAC Aluminium Conductor?
AAC means All Aluminium Conductor. It is manufactured using aluminium strands without a steel reinforcing core.
AAC conductors are valued for their relatively high conductivity-to-weight ratio and are commonly used where spans and mechanical loading requirements are moderate.
Typical applications include:
- Urban electrical distribution
- Short and medium overhead spans
- Distribution feeders
- Substations
- Electrical utility networks
- Industrial power distribution
What Is AAAC Aluminium Conductor?
AAAC means All Aluminium Alloy Conductor. It uses aluminium alloy strands designed to provide improved mechanical properties compared with conventional AAC.
AAAC can be advantageous where higher mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and suitable electrical performance are required.
Common applications include:
- Overhead distribution networks
- Medium-voltage power lines
- Long-span distribution
- Coastal and corrosive environments
- Industrial electrical networks
- Utility infrastructure
What Is ACSR Conductor?
ACSR means Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced. It combines aluminium strands with a galvanized steel core.
The aluminium provides electrical conductivity while the steel core provides additional mechanical strength. This construction makes ACSR particularly useful for overhead lines requiring greater tensile strength and longer spans.
ACSR is commonly used for:
- High-voltage overhead transmission
- Medium-voltage distribution
- Long-distance power lines
- Utility transmission networks
- Industrial power infrastructure
- Long-span overhead installations

Bare Conductor Types
(1) all aluminum conductor (AAC)
AAC used in overhead electric power transmission and distribution lines with various grade voltages.
Mainly used in urban areas for electricity transfer where the spacing is short and the supports are closer together. Apart
from that, these conductors are also extensively used in coastal area because of their corrosion resistance properties
(2) all aluminum alloy conductor(AAAC)
The aluminum alloy conductors are used in replace of single-layer ACSR conductors to reduce power
loss in overhead distribution and transmission lines, when replacing the aluminum conductor steel reinforced , the AAAC
can save 5-8% of the construction cost.
(3) aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR)
Used as bare overhead transmission conductor and as primary and secondary distribution conductor
and messenger support. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength
to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.
(4)aluminum conductor aluminum alloy reinforced(ACAR)

4. Sag and Tension: Conductor construction affects sag, tension and structural requirements.
5. Environmental Conditions: Wind, temperature, humidity, pollution and corrosive environments should be considered.
6. Installation Structure: Poles, towers, insulators and fittings must be compatible with the selected conductor.
7. Applicable Standards: Always select conductors according to the applicable Nigerian, IEC, utility or project specification.
Aluminium Conductor for Nigerian Electrical Projects
For electrical contractors, distributors, engineers and project developers in Nigeria, aluminium overhead conductors are an important component of power distribution infrastructure.
The 35mm², 50mm², 70mm², 120mm² and 150mm² sizes can serve different project requirements depending on the selected conductor construction and engineering specification.
They can be considered for projects in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Ibadan, Benin City, Kaduna, Enugu and other locations across Nigeria.
For major installations, the conductor should be purchased against a clear technical specification rather than selecting solely by nominal size.
Installation Considerations
Installation should be performed by qualified electrical professionals using suitable overhead-line equipment and approved installation procedures.
Important considerations include:
- Correct conductor handling
- Appropriate pole or tower spacing
- Correct insulator selection
- Proper tensioning
- Adequate ground clearance
- Correct sag calculation
- Suitable conductor fittings
- Appropriate phase spacing
- Compliance with electrical safety requirements
Improper installation can affect conductor performance, increase sag, create safety hazards and reduce the reliability of the electrical network.
