In recent years, perhaps due to the interest, the cable industry no longer dared to shout out the wire and cable products in the "aluminum and copper," slogan and replaced the "copper aluminum section" with this ambiguous term, almost AAC Conductor power Cable sideline eradicated. However, in any case, to block the development of science and technology, after all, hold this. In China, aluminum and AAC Conductor cable is quietly application.
Some foreign manufacturers have already tried to use aluminum power cables, EDF (EDF) of the 63-500kV grid system, 95-2500mm2 XLPE insulated cables, 70% is the use of aluminum conductors, but they are not the whole day shouting unsafe.
In the era of severe fluctuations in copper prices, the copper cable industry on the one hand loudly too expensive, causing cable products is no longer profitable speak at the same time, copper prices, on the other hand, fear the heart, this ambivalence only corporate parties themselves most clearly.
In severe fluctuations in the price of copper, cable products affect profit era, which is supposed to be the best time to promote AAC Conductor power cables, while we still insist that the argument in the international community has unwritten, or "AAC Conductor can cause a fire." Would not it be strange that?
In fact, a variety of wire and cable applications, which use copper cables or have expressly provided by the aluminum cables, design specifications, as the cable manufacturer, it is important that efforts to develop and promote new products, do not need the use of copper the AAC Conductor or multi-brainer, let alone behind others booing. Moreover, with the progress of the installation of cable laying technology, aluminum conductor oxidation corrosion, copper and AAC Conductor connection problems, and transition joints problems are solved step by step, there are no significant technical obstacles.
Recently seen online about AAC Conductor power cable project favored by the new report, the report says, because the aluminum cable and copper cables supporting the same connection terminal, can easily achieve docking with the original cable, therefore, in mining, transportation, public facilities, power engineering and other new projects around the country have been able to see the figure of AAC Conductor. The high cost of aluminum cable is the biggest reason to win the favor of the new project. A construction base construction worker said that the choice of AAC Conductor was in the hope of ensuring security and at the same time, being able to reduce procurement costs.
The purchase of the cable can save 40%. Using aluminum power cables, construction is also very fast, the original plan was to use the 5 bridge, because of the lightweight aluminum cable, as long as the three bridge is sufficient. Also part of the project began with the new aluminum cable. An administrative unit of the new office building is still the main choice is copper, and another lighting outside the building, but the choices are corrosion-resistant AAC Conductor. Engineers in charge of the power supply can not see any difference, very stable, but prices are lower AAC Conductor .
Whether copper cable or AAC Conductor, has its advantages and drawbacks, mainly depending on the cable manufacturer also how to choose.
