What are the different types of conductors and insulators for power lines?
2025-08-09The choice of conductors and insulators depends on the specific requirements of the transmission project, such as voltage level, span length, and environmental conditions.
-
Conductors:
-
All-Aluminum Conductor (AAC): Lightweight, good conductivity, but lower tensile strength, making it ideal for short spans and distribution lines.
-
All-Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAAC): Offers higher tensile strength and better corrosion resistance than AAC, suitable for coastal areas and medium spans.
-
Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR): The most common type for high-voltage transmission, featuring a steel core for superior strength and a durable aluminum outer layer.
-
-
Insulators:
-
Pin Insulators: Used for lower voltages, mounted on cross-arms.
-
Suspension Insulators: A series of discs connected together, used to hang conductors on high-voltage lines.
-
Strain Insulators: Designed to handle mechanical tension at corners and dead ends of the line.
