Overhead Line Wire – Reliable Solutions for Power Transmission
Overhead line wire is an essential component of power transmission and distribution networks, used to carry electricity over long distances from generation plants to end users. Our overhead line wires are manufactured from high-quality conductive materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, or copper, ensuring excellent electrical performance and mechanical strength. With strict quality control and compliance to international standards, our products are trusted by utilities, EPC contractors, and project owners worldwide.
Insulated Overhead Solutions Available
In addition to bare conductors (AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ACAR), we also supply ABC Cable (Aerial Bundled Cable) for low- and medium-voltage distribution networks, providing safer and more reliable power delivery in urban, rural, or forested areas.
Applications
Comparison of Overhead Line Wire Types
| Conductor Type | Construction | Key Advantages | Typical Applications | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AAC (All Aluminum Conductor) | 100% hard-drawn aluminum strands | ✓ Excellent conductivity ✓ Lightweight ✓ Easy installation |
Urban distribution lines, short spans, non-corrosive areas | Where maximum conductivity is needed and short spans are acceptable |
| AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor) | Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy strands | ✓ Higher strength than AAC ✓ Better corrosion resistance ✓ Lower sag |
Coastal areas, industrial zones, medium-span distribution | Areas with high corrosion risk or longer spans than AAC can handle |
| ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) | Aluminum strands around galvanized steel core | ✓ Very high tensile strength ✓ Longer spans possible ✓ Cost-effective for HV lines |
Long-span transmission lines, river crossings, HV networks | Long-distance power transmission where mechanical strength is critical |
| ACAR (Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced) | Aluminum alloy strands with alloy core | ✓ Good conductivity + strength balance ✓ Lighter than ACSR ✓ Better corrosion resistance |
HV/MV transmission lines in corrosive environments | Projects needing high strength and better corrosion resistance than ACSR |
| ABC Cable (Aerial Bundled Cable) | XLPE insulated aluminum conductors (bundled) | ✓ Improved safety ✓ Reduced line faults ✓ Compact design |
LV/MV distribution in residential, rural, and forested areas | Where insulated, compact, and safe overhead distribution is required |
