The Difference between Aluminium Clad Steel And Steel Core Aluminium Stranded Wire

First, the material is different

Aluminium clad steel is steel as the core material, outsourced with aluminium or aluminium alloy, belongs to a kind of outsourced aluminium products. Steel core aluminium stranded wire is made of multi-stranded aluminium and steel core stranded into an alloy cable.

Second, the structure is different

Aluminium clad steel by the aluminium layer and the steel core of two layers, steel core aluminium stranded wire is composed of steel core and aluminium core strands. Among them, each core strand by many twisted strands of steel wire and aluminium wire stranded into.

Third, the use of different

Aluminium clad steel is mainly used for transmission lines, traction power boosting equipment, as well as ground and power communication lines. And steel core aluminium stranded wire is mainly used in high-rise buildings, underground, light rail and power engineering.

Four, performance comparison

Aluminium clad steel is characterized by the same size and weight, its transmission performance is better than pure aluminium wire, and has a certain strength and corrosion resistance. The steel core aluminium stranded wire is characterized by high strength and good electrical conductivity, and relatively light, can reduce the cost of power engineering.

Fifth, the installation is different

Aluminium clad steel installation is relatively simple, the installation can be used to hang, bare copper grounding or insulator pole and other ways. The installation of steel-core aluminium stranded wire is more complex, need to use special connectors and joints to connect multiple core strands.

Conclusion

Although aluminium-clad steel and steel-core aluminium stranded wire are easy to be confused externally, in fact, there are obvious differences in their materials, structure, use, performance and installation methods. It is necessary to choose the appropriate material according to the actual needs in order to achieve the best power transmission effect.
