8176 Compact Conductor

Why Choose Us?

Engineered using high‑purity aluminium alloy as per ASTM B800/B801, our 8176 Compact Conductors offer superior conductivity, enhanced mechanical performance, and reduced diameter for efficient overhead line installation. With excellent sag control, improved corona performance, and increased current‑carrying capability, these conductors are ideal for modern, high‑efficiency transmission and distribution applications.

High Conductivity & Efficiency

Manufactured using aluminium alloy per ASTM B800/B801, offering improved conductivity and reduced line losses.

Compact Design

Reduced diameter ensures lower wind resistance, decreased corona effects, and optimized bundle spacing.

Low Sag Characteristics

Enhanced mechanical strength provides improved sag performance compared to conventional AAC/AAAC conductors.

Corrosion Resistance

Aluminium alloy construction ensures excellent resistance to atmospheric, coastal, and industrial corrosion.

Improved Ampacity

Optimized geometry and material composition enhance current‑carrying capacity without increasing conductor size.

Extended Service Life

Superior fatigue resistance and alloy stability ensure long‑term reliable operation.

Applications

  • Overhead distribution and transmission lines
  • Areas requiring reduced sag and compact design
