Aluminum power supply cables

  • Many people wonder what type of incoming cable to use for a private house: copper or aluminum? Both copper and aluminum power cables are suitable for electrical energy supply. Almost all underground electrical networks are laid with aluminum power cables. Compared to copper power cables, especially larger diameter aluminum power cables (AXMK) are significantly cheaper. It is recommended to place the incoming cable into a corrugated pipe, which would additionally protect the cable from mechanical damage. 

  • Aluminum power supply cables are widely used in electrical installations for energy transmission and distribution in both industrial and domestic settings. Due to their lightweight and good electrical properties, aluminum cables provide an effective solution, especially in high-power transmission systems. These cables can be used in both indoor and outdoor conditions, depending on their insulation type and construction.

    Structure:

    Conductor: Aluminum cables have one or several conductors made from pure aluminum. Aluminum is a lightweight metal that ensures good conductivity and efficient energy transmission.
    Insulation: Cables are typically insulated with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PE (polyethylene) material, providing good protection against moisture, UV rays, chemical exposure, and mechanical damage. The insulation can also be fire-resistant, which enhances safety during use.
    Specifications:

    Voltage range: Aluminum power supply cables can typically be used at voltages up to 1 kV or 35 kV, depending on the cable type and application.
    Temperature range: Operating temperatures range from -40 °C to +90 °C, allowing them to be used under various conditions, including extreme weather.
    Color code: Standard color code: black (phase), blue (neutral), green-yellow (ground).
    Applications:

    Industry: Aluminum cables are ideal for industrial applications such as energy transmission and distribution in manufacturing, automation systems, and electrical equipment.
    Domestic use: Suitable for home electrical installations, including lighting, appliance connections, and other power supply solutions.
    Construction sector: Used in electrical installations for new buildings, infrastructure projects, and renovated facilities, ensuring safe and reliable energy supply.
    Advantages:

    Lightweight: Aluminum cables are lighter than copper, making them easier to transport and install.
    Cost-effective: Aluminum is more economical than copper, making these cables a cheaper solution for energy supply.
    Efficiency: The good conductivity of aluminum allows for efficient electricity transmission, especially over long distances.
    Durability: Aluminum cables can last for many years if properly insulated and used under appropriate conditions.
    Aluminum power supply cables are a reliable and effective choice for various electrical installations. Their lightweight, cost, and versatility make them widely used in both industrial and domestic settings, ensuring long-term performance and safety. Due to their properties, these cables are an ideal solution for energy transmission and distribution.
