A paper insulated aluminium conductor is a type of electrical cable that uses aluminium as the conducting material, wrapped in paper insulation. The aluminium provides a lightweight, cost-effective, and efficient conductive core, while the paper insulation is treated with mineral oils or synthetic substances to ensure it is resistant to moisture and has high electrical insulating properties.
Application
- These conductors are primarily used in the power transmission industry. Common applications include
- underground and submarine power cables, where long-lasting and reliable insulation is essential.
- They are also used in environments that require cables to have a smaller diameter, yet maintain necessary electrical properties.
Type
Paper insulated conductors can vary in type, mainly differentiated by their construction and the specific treatments applied to the paper. Some of the typical types include:
Kraft Paper Insulated Conductors: Uses multiple layers of kraft paper, known for its high mechanical strength and durability.
Crepe Paper Insulated Conductors: Utilizes crepe paper for more elasticity and to accommodate uneven surfaces or bends in the cables.
Specifications
The specifications of paper insulated aluminium conductors depend largely on their intended use but generally include:
- Conductor Material: Aluminium.
- Insulation Material: Paper (typically impregnated with mineral oils or synthetic resins).
- Voltage Rating: Depending on the configuration, can range from low voltage up to high voltage applications.
- Temperature Range: Suitable for operation in a defined range of temperatures, which can be influenced by the type of impregnation used on the paper.
- Physical Dimensions: Diameter and thickness vary based on requirements for conductivity and voltage level.
Overall, paper insulated aluminium conductors are selected for their proven reliability, effective insulation, and suitability for various challenging environments within electrical infrastructure.
