What else can I help you with?
Why. Are metals used for making electrical cables?
aluminium is used for making electrical cables as the metal do not melt easily
Why is a mixture of iron and aluminium used in power cables?
Iron strengthens the aluminum
What elements make electric cable?
Copper and aluminium are used for electric cables.
What is the cable size that are used in 11kv system?
It depends on the power rating of the circuit but a common size would be 95 sq. mm up to about twice that. 11 kV systems are usually 3-phase 3-wire. Underground cables use copper while overhead ones tend to use uninsulated aluminium or aluminium conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cables.
Is aluminum in everyday objects?
Aluminium is a very common metal: aluminium foils, aluminium cans, kitchen items, cables, boxes for instruments etc.
two reasons why Aluminium is used for making electric cables while magnesium is not?
; Aluminium has 3 delocalised electrons making it a better conductor than magnesium with only 2 delocalized electrons
Why is lead used in high voltage cables?
Steel-reinforced aluminium cables are used for overhead lines because aluminium is much lighter than a copper conductor, despite not being quite as good a conductor as copper. The function of the steel reinforcement is to improve the tensile strength of the conductor.
Why do the notable features of aluminum make it suitable for making aircraft and power cables?
- aluminium is cheap- aluminium has a low density- aluminium is not easy corrodable- aluminium has convenable thermal and electrical coductivities
Advantages and disadvantages of underground and overhead cables?
Overhead transmission lines are less expensive, in most cases, significantly less expensive, than underground cables. Underground transmission cables require insulation, cooling systems, and -the most expensive feature- excavation!
What are some important uses of aluminum?
Aluminium is used in a wide range of things. Airplanes are mostly made of Aluminium. It is used in variety of things because it is both strong and lightweight. It is often used for overhead power cables as it is very light and an excellent conductor and not scarce like copper.
What size cables to connect a 45kva generator?
3.5 x35 sqmm Aluminium Cable
What does the compnay Romex sell?
They mine for wire. What they sell is cables. Wind turbine cables and tower cables, Wind collection cables, Solar PV wire, Solar collection cables, Transmission and substation e.g (jumper cables) They consist of cast copper, aluminium rods.
