Conductor material for cables

2025-05-12

Large-scale ground power stations in our country are generally in the west, which are generally deserts, saline-alkali land, and large temperature differences during the day, and the rodent infestation is also serious, and the environment will be very humid. Cable burial and cable trench filling requirements are compared High; The operating environment of the distributed power station cable is not better than the above-mentioned ground, the cable will withstand a high temperature, with technicians to measure and control, the roof temperature can even reach a high temperature of 100-110 °C, the cable is fire and flame retardant requirements, as well as high temperature, have a great impact on the insulation breakdown voltage of the cable. Therefore, the following points should be considered in the selection design:

1. The insulation performance of the cable
2. Moisture-proof, cold-proof and weather-resistant cables
3. The heat and flame retardant performance of the cable
4. The laying method of cables
5. Conductor material of the cable (copper core, aluminum alloy core, aluminum core)
6. The cross-sectional specification of the cable
There are three main causes of cable grounding failure.
First, the cable manufacturing defect is a non-qualified product;
second, the operating environment is harsh, natural aging, and external damage;
Third, the installation is not standardized, and the wiring is rough. The root cause of ground failure is only one --- the insulation of the cable.
