The difference between the definition of aluminum alloy cable and ordinary cable

[China Aluminum Industry Network] Definition of Aluminum Alloy Cables and Common Cable Differences Definition of Aluminum Alloy Cables Aluminum alloy power cables are based on AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductors, using a special pressing process and annealing treatment, and interlocking. A new type of material power cable created by advanced technologies such as process equipment.

2. Difference between alloy cable and ordinary cable The alloy cable adopts AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductor, while ordinary cable adopts 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 than ordinary cable:

Conductivity:

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