Bare AAAC conductors are intended for use as overhead primary or secondary distribution conductor. Since these conductors are manufactured with high strength aluminum, they are designed for longer spans and lower sag as compared to AAC (with 1350 aluminum). Abrasion resistance is also improved as compared to AAC since AAAC uses a harder aluminum alloy. This type of conductor is suitable for installation in saltwater environments due to the improved corrosion resistance. The DC resistance of an AAAC conductor is approximately the same as for an ACSR conductor of the same diameter.
