Overhead conductors are the backbone of power transmission and distribution systems, ensuring efficient electricity delivery from generation stations to end-users. Choosing the right conductor is critical for system reliability, reduced line losses, and long-term durability. HNBF Power, a global leader in manufacturing overhead conductors and power cables, specializes in AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ABC, LV power cables, and concentric cables to meet diverse project requirements. In this guide, we explore the types, features, and applications of overhead conductor and explain why HNBF Power is the preferred choice for engineers and procurement buyers.

Understanding Overhead Conductors

Overhead conductors are bare or insulated wires installed above the ground to transmit electric power over long distances. They are designed to withstand mechanical stress, environmental conditions, and electrical load demands. Key considerations when selecting an overhead conductor include:

• Current carrying capacity

• Tensile strength

• Corrosion resistance

• Thermal performance

HNBF Power manufactures conductors using high-quality materials and advanced production processes, ensuring consistent performance across various applications.

Types of Overhead Conductors

1. AAC (All Aluminum Conductor)

AAC is constructed entirely from high-purity aluminum, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Ideal for urban areas with short spans, AAC offers lightweight handling and economic efficiency.

2. AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor)

AAAC conductors are made from aluminum alloy strands, offering higher tensile strength than AAC. They are suitable for long spans and heavy load applications, reducing sagging and maintenance costs.

3. ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced)

ACSR conductors combine aluminum for conductivity with a steel core for tensile strength. This makes them ideal for high-voltage transmission lines and regions prone to strong winds or ice loading.

4. ABC (Aerial Bundled Cable)

ABC conductors are insulated overhead cables that minimize power outages and increase safety in residential and urban networks. They are particularly effective in areas with vegetation or high human activity.

Applications of Overhead Conductors

Overhead conductors from HNBF Power are used across a range of sectors, including:
