Expanded Diameter Conductor

An expanded diameter conductor is a special type of overhead conductor whose electrical performance is optimized by increasing its outer diameter. It is mainly used in high-voltage and above power transmission projects, and is especially suitable for high-altitude, heavy icing areas and electromagnetically sensitive areas.

Description

Product Description 

 

Our factory produces expanded diameter conductors based on standard conductor specifications, increasing the outer diameter while meeting technical requirements. Our expanded diameter conductors can reduce the aluminum cross-section of the conductor while ensuring corona discharge requirements are met, thus reducing the overall weight of the conductor. Furthermore, by reducing the load on towers and the weight of the structure, this significantly reduces the cost of power transmission lines.

Product Application 

 

When the voltage of a transmission line exceeds 220kV, expanded diameter conductors are typically used to reduce line reactance and corona losses. Expanded diameter conductors are made by hollowing out ordinary conductors or reducing the number of single wires in some layers, ultimately increasing the effective radius of the conductor. Expanded diameter conductors have significant application potential in ultra-high voltage and extra-high voltage transmission projects, especially in high-altitude areas where they hold even greater promise.

FAQ

 

How can I obtain samples of expanded diameter conductors?

  • Currently, our company can provide samples of the full range of expanded diameter conductors, covering mainstream models such as stranded (LGJK series), supported (LGKK series), and substation-specific expanded diameter conductors. For products with special customization requirements, we can also develop and provide samples based on your specific parameters.
  • For standard expanded diameter conductor samples, we will charge a basic material cost fee, which depends on the sample specifications and length. If you subsequently place a formal order, the sample fee can be deducted from the payment.
