The difference between aluminum alloy cable and ordinary cable

[China Aluminum Network] 1. Definition of Aluminum Alloy Cable

Aluminium alloy power cable is a new type material power cable with AA-8000 series aluminum alloy material as conductor, special pressing technology and annealing treatment, and advanced technology such as interlocking armoring technology.

2, the difference between alloy cable and ordinary cable

Alloy cable uses AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductor, while ordinary cable uses copper or pure aluminum as cable conductor.

3, why should we promote the use of alloy cable

At the same volume, the actual weight of an aluminum alloy is about one-third that of copper. According to this calculation, the same weight aluminum alloy cable is twice as long as the copper cable under the same electrical performance. Therefore, the weight of aluminum alloy cables at the same current carrying capacity is about half that of copper cables. The use of aluminum alloy cables instead of copper cables can reduce the weight of cables, reduce installation costs, and reduce equipment and cable wear, making installation easier.

4, the advantages of alloy cable over ordinary cable:

Conductivity: The conductivity of aluminum alloy is 61.5% that of the commonly used reference material copper IACS, and the carrying capacity is 79% of copper, which is superior to the pure aluminum standard.
