Aluminum Alloy Conductor Plastic Insulated Power Cable for Rated Voltage up to and including 26/35kv

The main components of aluminum cables include conductors, insulation layers and sheathing. The conductor is usually made of high-purity aluminum, and it performs the critical task of current transmission.  As a conductor material, aluminum has some remarkable characteristics.  First of all, it is relatively abundant and low cost, which makes aluminum cables have economic advantages in large-scale applications.  Second, aluminum has good electrical conductivity, although slightly inferior to copper, but in many cases can still meet the requirements of power transmission.

Insulation layer is an important part of aluminum cable, its role is to isolate the conductor and the external environment, to prevent current leakage and short circuit and other problems.  Insulating materials usually have good insulation properties and mechanical strength, and can remain stable under various environmental conditions.  Common insulating materials include polyethylene, crosslinked polyethylene, etc., which have excellent electrical insulation properties and heat resistance.

The sheath is wrapped around the insulation layer and mainly plays the role of protecting the cable.  It needs to have good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, weather resistance and other properties to ensure that the cable can run stably for a long time in different use scenarios.  Sheathed materials are also relatively rich, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene and so on.

Aluminum cable has many advantages.  Its cost advantage makes it widely used in some cost-sensitive projects, especially in long-distance transmission and large-scale power distribution, which can effectively reduce the overall project cost.  At the same time, the weight of the aluminum cable is relatively light, which is more convenient for installation and transportation, reducing the difficulty and cost of construction.

In practical applications, aluminum cables are widely used.  It is widely used in urban and rural power grid construction to provide stable power supply for residents and enterprises.  In the industrial field, aluminum cables are often used for power transmission in factories and power supply of mechanical equipment.  In addition, in some special environments, such as mines, oil fields, etc., aluminum cables also play an important role.

However, aluminum cables are not perfect.  Compared with copper cables, aluminum cables have certain limitations in some aspects.  For example, the oxidation resistance of aluminum is relatively weak, and it is easy to corrode in some harsh environments, which affects its service life and performance.  In addition, the connection process of aluminum cables is relatively complex, and if handled improperly, it may lead to failure at the connection site.

In order to overcome these problems, a series of measures need to be taken during the production and use of aluminum cables.  In the production process, the quality of raw materials and production process are strictly controlled to ensure the quality of cables.  During use, pay attention to the installation and maintenance of the cable to avoid cable damage caused by improper operation.

With the continuous progress of science and technology, the technology of aluminum cable is also constantly developing and innovating.  New types of insulating materials and sheathing materials continue to emerge, making the performance of aluminum cables further improved.  At the same time, the research on aluminum cables is also continuing to deepen, aiming to improve its electrical conductivity, stability and reliability.
