    Product features
    (1) Electrical performance
    The conductivity of medium voltage aluminum alloy cable is between aluminum and copper. Under the same current carrying capacity, the weight of aluminum alloy conductor with the same length is only half of that of copper conductor. When the cross-sectional area of aluminum alloy conductor is 1.5 times of that of copper, its electrical performance is the same, that is, it achieves the same current carrying capacity, resistance and voltage loss as copper.

    (2) Creep resistance
    The medium voltage aluminum alloy conductor is added with iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, rare earth and other metal elements, and the unique heat treatment process greatly reduces the “creep” tendency of metal under heating and pressure. Especially when the alloy element is added during the annealing of the conductor, it has high creep resistance, which can ensure the stability of the connection even when it is overloaded and overheated for a long time.

    (3) Connection performance
    The connection performance of medium voltage aluminum alloy cable and fittings has passed 1000 times of thermal cycle test, which proves that the long-term stability and reliability of aluminum alloy cable connection is the only basis for judging the connection quality.

    (4) Corrosion resistance
    A dense oxide film with a thickness of about 2×10-4mm is formed in the air to prevent further corrosion of the inner metal. The addition of cerium, lanthanum and other rare earth elements in the aluminum alloy conductor further improves the corrosion resistance of the metal materials with aluminum as the conductor. The corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy is much better than that of copper in sulfur-containing environment.

    (5) Mechanical properties
    High elongation: the elongation of aluminum alloy conductor can reach more than 30%, which is an important symbol of the product quality and the ability to withstand external force.
    Strength and toughness: the flexibility of aluminum alloy is 25% higher than that of copper. Even if it is repeatedly stressed, it will not produce cracks, reducing the potential safety hazards in the installation process.
    Easy to bend: the minimum bending radius of aluminum alloy cable is 7 times the outer diameter of the cable, which reduces the installation layout space, makes it easier to lay, and saves the installation cost.
    Low bounce: the bounce angle of aluminum alloy cable is 40% smaller than that of copper cable, which is more conducive to the tightness of terminal connection joint, easy to compress and improve the stability of connection.
