What Is Composite Core Aluminum Conductor and What Are Its Advantages?

ACCC conductor

Composite Core Aluminum Conductor is a conductor with carbon fiber core. It's a new kind of driver for airlines of transmission. This type of cable is light, stretch resistant, thermally stable and corrosion resistant. It is especially suitable for use in coastal areas, mining areas and other corrosive environments where the driver is prone to dancing.

Failures in Aerial Cables and Measures to Avoid Them

overhead cables

Aerial cables are a way of installing lines for outdoor use, leaning on poles. Aerial cables are usually bare conductors with multiple stranded wires.

Due to the good heat dissipation conditions of the cable, its load capacity is between a 30 and a 40% greater than that of an insulated cable of the same section. This represents a significant reduction in the cost of the line.

Protection Measures Against Lightning in Aerial Cables

lightning in overhead cables

as a natural phenomenon, lightning is generated for various reasons. During the frequent annual lightning season, power lines can be significantly affected.

Las 10KV overhead lines are subject to direct and induced lightning, that can generate very high voltages and cause surges in overhead cables.

The lightning surge is usually much higher than the allowable voltage of the line. The lack of protection measures against lightning can easily cause it to strike the insulation., which can lead to fractures at weak points. Serious damage to electrical equipment leads to unnecessary safety accidents.
