AL 59 conductors are 20% lighter than ACSR conductors of equal diameter, with excellent corrosion resistance and higher conductivity than AAAC. They have higher ampacity and lower electrical losses, making them ideal for use in coastal, saline, and corrosion-prone areas. AL 59 conductors comply with Swedish standards and are used for transmission and distribution applications requiring corrosion resistance as an alternative to ACSR and AAAC.

1. AL 59 Conductors
CharacteristicsBalance of Mechanical & Elecerical
Weight- 20 % (Approx.)lighter than ACSR conductor of equal diameter
Excellent Corrosion Resistance-It has a high resistance to atmospheric corrosion
Higher corrosion resistance than 6201 alloy series
Good Strength to Weight Ratio
Lower Electrical Losses- Low losses due to lower resistance
Higher conductivity -than AAAC [59 % IACS]
Higher Ampacity- 26 % to 31 % more current capacity as that of ACSR of same size
Ideal for seacoasts, saline, corrosion prone areas and coastal regions
Typical ApplicationTransmission and Distribution applications in corrosive environments, Suited as an
alternate to ACSR & AAAC depending on line engineer needs
