Aerial Conductor AFL-6 120 – Reliability and Durability in Electrical Power Networks

AFL-6 120 is an uninsulated steel-aluminum conductor designed for overhead line construction. Its design combines the strength of steel with the excellent conductivity of aluminum, making it an ideal solution for transmitting electrical energy over medium and long distances. It is used both in new installations and during the modernization of existing networks.

Construction and Application

The conductor consists of a central steel core surrounded by layers of aluminum wires. This construction ensures high mechanical strength necessary to maintain tension and resist atmospheric conditions. The steel core, often hot-dip galvanized for additional corrosion protection, serves as the load-bearing element, while the aluminum layer ensures efficient current flow. The spaces between the steel and aluminum wires may be filled with a special grease that enhances corrosion resistance and mitigates thermal effects.

AFL-6 120 is primarily used in:

• Medium-voltage overhead lines (up to 1 kV),
• Cable connections,
• Construction of electrical distribution networks,
• Modernization of existing overhead lines.

Key Features and Benefits

• Mechanical Strength: The combination of steel and aluminum provides high resistance to mechanical loads and atmospheric conditions – wind, snow, and ice accumulation.
• Excellent Conductivity: Aluminum ensures efficient power transmission with minimal losses.
• Corrosion Resistance: The hot-dip galvanized steel core and optional grease filling protect against corrosive agents.
• Versatility: AFL-6 120 is compatible with most standard mounting and connection components used in overhead lines.
• Performance in Harsh Conditions: Suitable for operation in wet and forested areas thanks to its robust design and materials.
• Nominal Cross-Section: 120 mm² enables the transmission of high currents, essential for networks with significant energy demand.
• Outer Diameter: Approximately 15.6 mm facilitates installation and compatibility with other system components.

AFL-6 120 is a proven choice for professionals involved in the construction and maintenance of electrical power networks, as well as for investors seeking a reliable solution for electrical energy transmission.
