Overhead cable AL 1x16 AL-1X16

Aerial aluminum conductor – a reliable solution for power lines

This aluminum conductor, with a cross-section of 16 mm², is designed for the construction of overhead lines. Made of stranded aluminum, it is characterized by good conductivity and mechanical strength. The twisted wire construction provides flexibility and ease of installation. This conductor is used in the power industry, where reliability and safety are crucial.

Construction and characteristics

The conductor consists of stranded aluminum cores, twisted concentrically to ensure optimal strength and flexibility. The lack of an outer sheath makes it a typical aerial conductor, designed for outdoor use. The outer diameter of the conductor is approximately 5.12 mm, which facilitates its installation and routing. It is worth noting the high tensile strength (271 N) – this indicates its resistance to tensile forces, which is important in outdoor conditions. The electrical resistance per kilometer of conductor is 1.821 Ω, allowing for efficient transmission of electrical energy.

Application and benefits

AL-1X16 conductor is ideal for:

• Construction of medium and low voltage overhead lines.
• Cable connections outside buildings.
• Installations requiring high resistance to atmospheric conditions.
• Industrial applications requiring a reliable electrical conductor.

Why choose this conductor?

• Strength: The aluminum core provides high mechanical resistance and long-term operation.
• Conductivity: Aluminum guarantees efficient flow of electric current, minimizing energy losses.
• Flexibility: The stranded wire construction makes it easy to install and route the conductor, even in difficult terrain conditions.
• Weather resistance: The lack of an outer sheath makes the conductor resistant to UV radiation and changing temperatures.
• Compliance with standards: The conductor is manufactured in accordance with PN-EN 1715-2:2000, ensuring the safety and reliability of the installation.
