Chapter 1: Introduction
The human race has made his life simpler by inventing complicated things, wires being one of them. Electricity is hard to acquire, which needs to be distributed efficiently to respected places without the fear of loss.
To safely distribute electricity, proper wiring with a high rate of conductivity needs to be selected.
Chapter 2: What are the properties of a conductor?
The type of conductor to be used depends upon the working environment. But a conductor’s primary properties are as follows;
It should be capable of conducting a maximum amount of electricity; input should be more or less equal to the output generated.
It should have minimum electrical losses
It should have the ability to withstand pressure, high tensile strength
It should be budget-friendly
It should have the ability to be shaped easily.
Chapter 3: What is AAC?
Breaking the term A-A-C, it means All Aluminum Conductor. Hence the wires consist of purity of about 99.7% aluminum.
All Aluminum conductors consist of several strands of Aluminum in places with a lesser span; hence, it is for best use in rural or suburban areas.
Since it covers an area of a lesser span, it is best to use for distribution.
Chapter 4: Why use Aluminum?
The following are the properties of Aluminum, which makes it a leading conductor, the best to choose.
1. Corrosion
Term corrosion means the deterioration of the surface of a metal when exposed to air and water, rusting. Corrosion can be life-threatening and reduce the span of workability of a material.
Aluminum has a self-protecting property; that is, when it is under exposure to unfavorable conditions, it forms an armor of aluminum oxide, which in return prevents corrosion.
2. Conductivity
Conductivity is the material’s ability to conduct electricity- current from one point to another without any hindrance or resistance to supply power.
Aluminum has a high rate of conductivity; hence, Aluminum is a favorable material in the work of conduction.
Conductivity is 62% than that of copper. But having a weight one-third of copper can conduct twice as much as copper.
3. Weight
It is the sufficient metal found on earth. Its awe-able property is its density; it is light, easy to carry and transport. It has a weight two-third lesser than that of copper.
The selection of material plays an essential role in transportation, application, and fuel consumption.
It has an atomic mass unit of 63.546, whereas Aluminium has an atomic mass unit of 26.981539, one-third than that of copper.
4. Tensile
Tensile means the capability of a material to resist any outside force. The last point of breakage or deformity.
Aluminum has a unique property, that is its strength is inversely proportional to the cold temperature; power increases with the decrease in temperature.
It is a suitable choice for cold climatic conditions.
Aluminum has a tensile strength of 90 MPa, which can reach to about 690 MPa
5. Ductile
Ductile is the ability to be drawn to any shape, withstanding the pressure. Aluminum is highly malleable and can be brought into sheets, wires, and geometrical shapes as desired.
Cost-effective
Aluminum is cheaper than any other material due to its abundance in availability in the earth’s crust.
Cost depends upon the availability and extraction of the material. In the early 19th century Aluminium was the most expensive element, even valuable than gold.
The new extraction and refining techniques, Aluminium, became cheaper than copper.
It is easy to recycle, hence eco-friendly.
Chapter 5: Are any standards followed?
for electrical purposes: 1350-H19, meaning extra hard, round wire
The standard for concrete laying on Aluminum 1350.
National Electrical Code
ASTM B-230 & B-23
ASTM International; a worldly recognized standard to deliver quality products.
Chapter 6: How it is constructed?
Aluminum 1350, as a material for the making of wires, is selected. It is then twisted helically around a central axis.
Each layer has six wires. The number increases as the layer increases.
Each layer is a reverse twist of its successive layer.
Chapter 7: Are there any types of it?
