AAAC Rabbit Conductor Cable
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing for the AAAC Rabbit Conductor Cable ensures compliance with ASTM B398 and IEC 61089 standards. Aluminum alloy ingots (6201-T81) are inspected for chemical composition (Mg 0.6-0.9%, Si 0.5-0.9%, Fe <0.5%) using spectrometry. Wires undergo conductivity (>53% IACS), tensile strength (295-325 MPa), and elongation (>3.5%) checks with universal machines. Samples are subjected to heat treatment simulation at 180°C for aging verification and impurity analysis via microscopy. Corrosion resistance is tested in salt spray chambers for 1000 hours. The structured process: incoming batch verification, random sampling, physical/mechanical testing (diameter 3.35mm ±0.03mm, weight per length), chemical confirmation, accelerated aging trials, and material release decision.
Process inspection
Process inspection in AAAC Rabbit Conductor Cable manufacturing follows ASTM B399. Wire drawing controls the diameter (3.35mm ±0.03mm) and ovality with calipers. Solution heat treatment furnace logs temperature (500-550°C) and quench rate for alloy hardening. The aging oven maintains 180°C for the T81 temper. The stranding machine verifies 7-wire configuration, lay length (12-16 times diameter), and compression. Surface finish and marking are checked online. Key steps: pre-process alloy homogenization confirmation, parameter stabilization (speed 20m/min), in-line tensile sampling, defect scanning (cracks/inclusions), and corrective rework. This multi-point control guarantees the AAAC Rabbit Conductor Cable's uniform temper, tight stranding, mechanical balance, and standard compliance for optimal overhead installation.
Finished Product
Finished AAAC Rabbit Conductor Cable testing validates ASTM B399 specs. Routine checks: diameter (10.05mm), weight (149 kg/km), resistance (0.552 Ω/km). Mechanical: tensile (5.85 kN min), elongation. The process steps: sample cutting, grip mounting, load increase to failure, data recording, and fracture examination. Corrosion: 1000-hour salt spray. Additional: sag-tension at 75°C, weather cycling (UV/heat). Passing confirms the AAAC Rabbit Conductor Cable's low expansion, high ampacity, corrosion resistance, and suitability for overhead lines.
Application
Ideal for overhead medium-voltage lines in coastal utilities, wind farms, and grid extensions. Used for spans 150-250m in corrosive environments, connecting transformers to consumers for efficient, lightweight power delivery in urban and rural areas.
