Stranded Conductor & Cables

Alcomet supply a range of copper and aluminium stranded conductor and cables from stock.

Stranded conductors and cables are extensively used in substations due to their flexibility, mechanical strength, and better conductivity characteristics compared to solid conductors. Advantages of using Stranded Conductors and Cables:

• Flexibility: Stranded conductors are more flexible than solid conductors, making them easier to install and manage, especially in complex substation layouts.
• Mechanical Strength: The stranded design provides better resistance to mechanical stresses, such as vibration and thermal expansion.
• Conductivity: Stranded conductors typically have lower resistance and better conductivity, which is crucial for high-current applications.
• Durability: They offer better performance under mechanical stress and thermal cycling, enhancing the overall reliability of the substation.
