Introduction

In recent years, the contradiction between the rapid development of the power grid and the relative scarcity of copper resources has become increasingly prominent. Relying solely on copper core cables will significantly increase the distribution costs.

Power grid construction costs. To implement the national strategic goal of "saving copper with aluminum" and optimize the life-cycle cost of the distribution network, aluminum alloy core power supplies...

This type of cable is gradually being used. It uses aluminum alloy as the conductor, and its conductivity is comparable to that of an aluminum core conductor, but its mechanical properties and resistance are different.

The creep performance is significantly improved, avoiding the problems of poor ductility and unstable connection that exist in aluminum core cables; at the same time, compared with copper core cables, aluminum alloy...

Gold-core cables offer significant economic advantages. China is a country rich in aluminum but poor in copper; therefore, in certain applications and while ensuring cable product quality, [this advantage is crucial].

The development and application of aluminum alloy core cables can solve resource problems, reduce power grid construction costs, and promote the sustainable development of the power grid.

GB/T 31840 "Aluminum Alloy Core Extruded Insulated Power Cables with Rated Voltages from 1kV (Um=1.2kV) to 35kV (Um=40.5kV)" refers to...

The standards for the design, production, and testing of aluminum alloy cables in China are proposed to consist of three parts.

— Part 1: Cables with rated voltages of 1kV (Um=1.2kV) and 3kV (Um=3.6kV). The purpose is to specify the rated voltage.

Structure, dimensions, and testing of 1kV (Um=1.2kV) and 3kV (Um=3.6kV) aluminum alloy core extruded insulated power cables Require.

— Part 2: Cables with rated voltages from 6kV (Um=7.2kV) to 30kV (Um=36). The purpose is to specify the rated voltage.

Structure, dimensions and test requirements for 6kV (Um=7.2kV) to 30kV (Um=36) aluminum alloy core extruded insulated power cables.

— Part 3: Cables with a rated voltage of 35kV (Um=40.5kV). The purpose is to specify the rated voltage of cables with a rated voltage of 35kV (Um= Structure, dimensions and test requirements for 40.5kV aluminum alloy core extruded insulated power cables.

Aluminum alloy core power cable technology was introduced to China in 2007.After more than ten years of research, its manufacturing technology and application level have made significant progress.

Improvements have been made since the first edition of GB/T 31840 was released in 2015, providing a basis for the manufacturing, inspection, and application of aluminum alloy core power cables in China.

It has provided crucial support. After nearly ten years of application, the industry has gained a deeper understanding of the performance and testing requirements for aluminum alloy core power cables.

With the understanding of the technology, the technical parameters and the use of raw materials have also changed accordingly, so it is necessary to revise them.
