ACWU90 is a high-flexibility, self-locking armored aluminum alloy cable designed for power distribution in harsh environments. It combines corrosion resistance, mechanical durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional copper cables. Compliant with GB/T 19666-2005, UL 1072, and IEC 60502, it is widely used in industrial, commercial, and utility applications, including solar farms, mining, and underground installations.
Voltage Rating: 0.6/1 kV to 35 kV (standard models: 0.6/1 kV, 8.7/15 kV, 26/35 kV)16.
Temperature Range:
Operating: -40°C to +90°C (ambient) / +105°C (conductor max)68.
Short-Circuit Tolerance: +250°C for ≤5 seconds1.
Construction:
Conductor: AA8000 series aluminum alloy (ASTM B800/B801), offering high flexibility, creep resistance, and stable connections12.
Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) with halogen-free, flame-retardant properties (FT4 grade)68.
Armor: Interlocked 5000 series aluminum alloy armor for superior mechanical protection, non-magnetic, and spark-free installation14.
Sheath: UV-resistant PVC or LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) for corrosion and moisture resistance59.
Certifications: CSA, CE, RoHS, and IEC 60332-1 (flame retardancy)
Below are standard parameters for ACWU90 cables. Custom configurations (e.g., multi-core, shielded) are available upon request.
