Professional Overhead Bare Conductors , All Aluminium Conductor AAC Cicada

Redefining Grid Efficiency: Shanghai Shenghua’s AAC Cicada Conductors for High-Capacity Transmission​​

As global energy demand surges, ​​overhead transmission lines face unprecedented strain​​. Traditional steel-reinforced conductors (ACSR) buckle under extreme loads, suffering from corrosion, sagging, and energy losses up to ​​8% per 100km​​

. ​​Shanghai Shenghua Power Group Cable​​ confronts these challenges with its ​​AAC Cicada All-Aluminum Conductors​​—engineered to deliver ultra-low resistance, corrosion-free resilience, and 20% weight reduction for next-gen power infrastructure.

​​AAC Cicada: Engineering Breakthroughs​​

1. ​​Zero-Corrosion Design​​:

   • Pure aluminum construction eliminates steel-core galvanic corrosion, extending lifespan to ​​50+ years​​ in coastal/industrial zones—outlasting ACSR by 2×
     
     
   • ​​37-strand optimized layering​​ ensures uniform stress distribution, resisting ice/wind loads in Himalayan and Arctic grids.

2. ​​Unmatched Electrical Efficiency​​:

   • ​​0.0459 Ω/km resistance​​ (628.3mm²) reduces energy loss by ​​3.1 GWh/year per 100km​​ versus ACSR equivalents, saving utilities 310kannually(at0.10/kWh)
     
     
   • Continuous ​​150°C operational tolerance​​ supports surge currents during peak demand or renewable intermittency.

3. ​​Weight-to-Strength Dominance​​:

   • At ​​1,732.9 kg/km​​, AAC Cicada is ​​20% lighter​​ than comparable ACSR, enabling:
     • Longer spans (​​550m+​​) with fewer support towers
       
       
     • ​​30% lower installation costs​​ due to reduced structural reinforcement.

​​Certified for Global High-Voltage Networks​​

Shenghua’s AAC series complies with:

• ​​EN 50182 & IEC 61089​​: Validated tensile strength (100.54 kN) and conductivity
  
  
• ​​ASTM B231 & DIN 48201​​: Corrosion resistance and fatigue testing for EU/APAC projects.
• ​​GB/T 1179-2008​​: Certified for China’s 1,100kV UHV corridors
  
  

​​Technical Specifications: AAC Cicada vs. Industry Standards​​

Customizable diameters: 16mm²–1,500mm² with 7–127 wire configurations.

​​Critical Applications​​

• ​​Desert Solar Farms​​: Cicada’s 150°C tolerance ensures stable operation in Middle Eastern 500kV lines (e.g., Saudi Arabia’s NEOM project).
• ​​Coastal Wind Integration​​: Zero-corrosion design prevents degradation in offshore wind grid links (e.g., UK’s Dogger Bank).
• ​​Mountainous Transmission​​: Lightweight structure supports 550m spans in Andes transmission corridors, cutting tower costs by 30%
  
  

​​Why Shanghai Shenghua Leads Global Grid Projects​​

• ​​30+ Years of Expertise​​: Supplied 12,000km+ conductors for China’s West-East Power Project
  
  
• ​​Rigorous Testing​​: In-house labs validate:
  • Ice-load endurance (-40°C)
  • Vibration fatigue (50M+ cycles)
  • Creep resistance (1,000h load tests)
• ​​Sustainable Manufacturing​​: Closed-loop aluminum recycling reduces carbon footprint by 45% versus industry averages.
