How to measure the temperature of cable terminal tail contact?

The contact resistance of the tail wire contact of AAAC Cable terminal (especially outdoor, sometimes connected by copper aluminum two different metals) will increase under the influence of long-term load and fault current, which will lead to overheating. When the line fails, the fault current flows through the contact, which will burn the contact. Measuring … Read more

What is the national standard cable

National standard ACSR Cable, literally, is the wire and cable produced in strict accordance with national standards. China has clear regulations on the appearance, mechanical strength, insulation of sheath, withstand voltage strength and line resistance of cables. There are different national standards for different types of cables, mainly as follows: ·Executive standard for irradiation crosslinked … Read more

Testing of sheath and corrosion protection

The intact cable sheath can effectively protect the insulation: it can prevent liquid water from immersing in the insulation, and the enclosed metal sheath can also prevent moisture from diffusing into the insulation, so it can obviously prevent the formation of water branches in PE / XLPE insulated cables. The sheath and anti-corrosion layer test … Read more

Factors affecting insulation resistance of wires and cables

Small insulation resistance is often encountered in AAC Cable production, which is affected by many factors. In fact, there are four main factors that have a great influence on the coefficient of insulation resistance. 1、 The influence of temperature With the increase of temperature, the insulation resistance coefficient decreases. This is due to the increase … Read more

How to distinguish the rigidity or flexibility of mineral insulated cable

The structure of mineral insulated ABC Cables with different names is convenient for us to design and select better, and there is no confusion about many naming rules. What are (rigidity) and (flexibility)? For a long time, the domestic mineral insulated cables are divided into two types: rigidity and flexibility. The internationally used magnesium oxide … Read more

What is the cable compression factor, filling factor, elongation factor

Definition of filling coefficient on AAAC Cable Manual: ratio of actual cross-sectional area of conductor to cross-sectional area of core outline Filling coefficient of circular core = sum of cross-sectional area of each single line / circumcircle area of stranded core Fan, pad core filling factor = sum of each single line cross-sectional area / … Read more

What is the difference in the temperature resistance of cables?

UL standard In UL standard, the common temperature resistance grades are 60 ℃, 70 ℃, 80 ℃, 90 ℃, 105 ℃, 125 ℃ and 150 ℃. How do these temperature ratings come? Is it the long-term operating temperature of the conductor? In fact, these so-called temperature ratings are called rating temperature in UL standards. It … Read more
