Comparative Research on Aluminum Conductor Composite Coreand Traditional Conductor

Compared with traditional wire,Aluminum Conductor Composite Core(ACCC) has such advantages as light weight,low sag,high strength,higher operation working temperature,and high electric conduction rate.Through the comparison between Drake ACCC/TW and LGJ-400/65 conductor,especially with the respect of the material performance,sag-temperature curve,install curve of the two conductors,it proves that ACCC conductor shows better performance in Aluminum cross-sectional area,maximum operating temperature,current carrying capacity than ACSR conductor,and ACCC can transmit more effective power capability.After the wire temperature rise,ACCC conductor sag changes very little.Meanwhile,the paper presents the applications of ACCC in engineering.
