Aluminum Alloy Conductor Cable

Aluminum Alloy Conductor Cable
Product Description
Since the early 1900s, aluminum and aluminum alloy conductor materials have
been used by electrical utility companies for the transmission of electrical
power within power grids across the country. In fact, over the years, aluminum
has largely displaced copper conductors for these functions and has become the
standard material for use in power transmission and distribution. If you’ve
ever wondered why there’s no copper in the air, it’s because aluminum is the
superior choice in every way. For starters, aluminum features twice the
ampacity per pound as copper. In addition, it’s lighter, more flexible, and
more corrosion-resistant. And MD Aluminum Alloy Conductor Cable much more cost-
effective.
As an example, if you’re an electron going all the way from say, for long
distance power transmission, on the grid – you’re going to use the aluminum
power highway. Thanks to a specially engineered aluminum alloy, Mingda feeder
and service entrance cables now make it possible for commercial and residential
users to enjoy the same reliability and economic advantages as power utilities.
