Overhead Conductors in Peru Rural Electrification Project

AAAC / ACSR / Medium-Voltage Bare Conductors Supply for GRIDPERU Program

In recent years, the Peruvian government has made rural electrification a national priority, especially in the Andean highlands and remote Amazon basin communities. Under the Programa de Electrificación Rural (PER) led by the Ministry of Energy & Mines and the state utility ElectroPerú, over 2,000 km of new 22kV and 33kV overhead distribution lines are being constructed to deliver stable electricity to underserved villages.

To support this nationwide initiative, our company supplied a large quantity of AAAC, ACSR bare conductors, and medium-voltage overhead insulated cables, ensuring safe, efficient, and long-distance distribution across complex terrains such as mountains, valleys, and high-humidity rainforest areas.

Products Supplied

1. AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor)

Structure: Concentric stranded aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy
Sizes Delivered: AAAC 95, AAAC 120, AAAC 150
Advantages:

  • Excellent corrosion resistance for coastal and humid climates

  • Lightweight design for easy installation in mountainous regions

  • Higher conductivity-to-weight ratio

2. ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced)

Structure: Aluminum outer layer with galvanized steel core
Sizes Delivered: ACSR 95/15, ACSR 120/20
Advantages:

  • High tensile strength for long spans over valleys

  • Superior mechanical performance under wind load

  • Increased safety margin for rural overhead networks

3. Medium-Voltage Overhead Insulated Cable (22kV / 33kV)

Standards: IEC 60502-2
Construction: XLPE insulation, round stranded aluminum conductor
Advantages:

  • Suitable for areas with dense vegetation

  • Reduced risk of short circuit and outages

  • Longer service life and lower maintenance cost

Applications & Engineering Solutions

In the Peru Rural Electrification Project:

• AAAC conductors

Used for 22kV distribution feeders in high-humidity areas (Cusco, Puno, Madre de Dios), where corrosion protection is critical.

• ACSR conductors

Installed on 33kV long-span lines crossing mountain valleys in Cajamarca and Ayacucho, reducing tower quantity and construction difficulty.

• 33kV insulated overhead cables

Applied in forested Amazon regions where vegetation clearance is difficult and electrical faults are frequent.

Complete Line Accessories Provided:

  • Suspension clamps

  • Tension clamps

  • Preformed armor rods

  • Hot-dip galvanized steel cross-arms

  • Polymer insulators

This ensured a complete turnkey overhead line material package for the EPC contractor.

Quality Standards & Inspection

Conductors Tested According to:

  • IEC 61089

  • ASTM B232 (ACSR)

  • ASTM B399 (AAAC)

MV Cable Testing Based On:

  • IEC 60502-2 (22kV / 33kV)

Factory Quality Tests Included:

  • DC resistance test

  • Tensile strength test (steel core & aluminum)

  • Conductor elongation test

  • Aging & UV resistance

  • Voltage withstand test

  • Insulation thickness measurement

  • Salt-spray and corrosion test (for humid/coastal zones)

Our factory operates under ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 management systems to ensure stable and reliable production quality.

Export Packaging & Logistics

Conductor Packaging

  • Heavy-duty fumigated wooden drums with reinforced steel rims

  • Fully sealed with moisture-proof wrapping

  • Drum labels include batch number, conductor size, gross weight, and QR code tracking

Insulated Cable Packaging

  • Steel-wood composite drums for added rigidity during long-distance transport

  • Inner layers wrapped with waterproof polyethylene sheets

  • Anti-slip bases for safe crane handling

International Shipping

  • Main Route: Ningbo/Shanghai Port → Port of Callao, Peru

  • Approx. transit time: 32–38 days

  • All shipments include

    • Loading supervision photos

    • Drum packing list

    • Insurance documentation

    • CIQ/Certificate of Origin (where required)

Global Partner Advantage

Our company collaborates with freight forwarders across Asia, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, providing:

  • Faster booking for peak shipping seasons

  • Flexible LCL/FCL solutions

  • Guaranteed container space for project deadlines

  • On-site arrival inspection support if required

This ensures stable and efficient delivery for international EPC contractors and utilities.

On-Site Technical Support

To ensure smooth installation, we provided:

  • Technical data sheets and conductor sag-tension charts

  • Accessories compatibility guidance

  • Remote training for local engineers

  • Installation supervision during conductor stringing

These services helped the local construction teams reduce installation errors and speed up project progress.

Project Outcomes

After the deployment of our overhead conductors in rural Peru:

  • Over 2,000+ km of MV overhead lines were successfully electrified

  • Electricity coverage expanded to over 150,000 rural residents

  • Network stability improved significantly, with line failures reduced by 35%

  • Maintenance expenses decreased due to corrosion-resistant AAAC conductors

  • The project earned positive feedback from both ElectroPerú and EPC partners

This project further strengthened our position as a reliable supplier of overhead conductors and MV distribution materials in the South American market.

Through high-quality AAAC, ACSR, and MV overhead cables—combined with reliable packaging, efficient global logistics, and technical support—our company continues to play a vital role in supporting electrification programs in Peru and across Latin America.
