AAAC conductor fatigue resistance in overhead power lines is critical for electrical safety and stability of power transmission system. The article discusses the influence of the artificial aging of 6101 series aluminium alloy wires on their operational properties. Moreover, the influence of the proposed heat treatment on the fatigue strength and the nature of breakthroughs of the tested wires was compared.
