Covered Line Wire Aluminum Conductor

1.Application Of Covered Line Wire Aluminum Conductor

Covered line wire aluminum conductor has a wide range of applications in the electrical industry, including overhead power transmission, service entrance, street lighting, temporary power supply, and renewable energy projects.

Overhead power transmission:

Covered line wire aluminum conductor is widely used for overhead power transmission and distribution lines in rural areas and other locations where underground cables are not feasible. Its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion make it an ideal choice for long-distance transmission.

Service entrance:

It is also used for service entrance wires that connect the utility’s power lines to the customer’s premises. It is typically installed between the utility pole and the building’s main electrical panel.

Street lighting:

Covered line wire aluminum conductor is often used for street lighting applications where it is hung on utility poles and connected to a lighting fixture. It is ideal for this application because it is lightweight and can be easily strung across long distances.

Temporary power supply:

It can be used as a temporary power supply during construction projects, events, or emergencies. It can be strung across a site or location and connected to a portable power source.

Renewable energy:

Covered line wire aluminum conductor is also used for connecting renewable energy sources such as solar or wind farms to the power grid. It can handle high-voltage power transmission over long distances, making it an ideal choice for renewable energy projects.

2.Construction Of Covered Line Wire Aluminum Conductor

Conductor:

The central aluminum conductor is typically made up of several strands of aluminum wire twisted together to form a single conductor. The number and size of the strands can vary depending on the required strength and conductivity.

Insulation Layer:

The insulation layer is usually made of a polymer material such as cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), polyethylene (PE), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The insulation provides electrical insulation between the conductor and any surrounding objects, as well as protecting the conductor from environmental factors such as moisture and corrosion.
