Overhead conductors are the backbone of modern power transmission and distribution systems, enabling the efficient delivery of electricity across urban and rural landscapes. Selecting the right overhead conductor is critical for ensuring system reliability, minimizing line losses, and achieving long-term operational efficiency. HNBF Power, a global leader in manufacturing AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ABC, LV power cables, and concentric cables, delivers high-performance solutions designed to meet stringent industry standards and project-specific requirements.

Understanding Overhead Conductors

Overhead conductors are metallic wires suspended above the ground, carrying electrical energy from generation stations to substations and end-users. Their design must balance electrical efficiency, mechanical strength, and environmental resilience. HNBF Power’s overhead conductors are engineered to deliver optimal performance in diverse climates and load conditions.

Key Types of Overhead Conductors:

• AAC (All Aluminum Conductor): Lightweight and highly conductive, ideal for short- to medium-span applications.

• AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor): Offers improved mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for areas with harsh weather conditions.

• ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced): Combines high conductivity with superior tensile strength, making it the preferred choice for long spans and high-voltage transmission.

• ABC (Aerial Bundled Cable): Modern solution for urban distribution, reducing line losses and enhancing safety.
