Importance of power cables


Electric energy transmission: Power cables are one of the main ways to transmit electric energy from power sources such as power stations and substations to various electrical equipment and end users.

● Infrastructure construction: Power cables are an important part of building power infrastructure. In the power transmission and distribution system, power cables connect power plants, substations, distribution equipment, and various electrical equipment, forming a large and complex network that supports the normal operation of the city.

● Environmental protection: Efficient power cables can reduce the loss and waste of electrical energy, improve energy utilization efficiency, help reduce energy consumption, and reduce environmental pollution.


Different types of power cables


Low-voltage power cables: Low-voltage power cables are mainly used to transmit low-voltage (generally 1000V and below) electrical energy and are suitable for power distribution systems in homes, businesses, and light industries. Common low-voltage cables include PVC insulated cables, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables, etc.

● Medium-voltage power cable: Medium-voltage power cable is used to transmit electric energy of medium voltage (generally 1kV to 35kV) and is widely used in urban distribution networks, industrial production, construction projects, and other fields. Medium voltage cables are usually XLPE or oil-immersed insulated for high electrical performance and durability.

● High-voltage power cables: High-voltage power cables are suitable for transmitting high-voltage (generally 35kV and above) electrical energy and are used to connect power plants, substations, and main transmission lines. High-voltage cables have good electrical properties and tolerance and can withstand high voltage and current loads.

● Bare conductor: Bare conductor is a kind of power conductor without an insulation layer, usually used in transmission lines and distribution lines, mainly used for power transmission between overhead towers and poles. Common materials for bare wires include aluminum, copper, steel, etc., which have good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.


In conclusion, power cables are an integral part of modern electrical systems, helping to transmit electricity in a variety of applications and industries efficiently.
