Aluminum strand belongs to bare conductor
At present, Aluminum-clad steel strand (LGJ) is widely used as conductor in China; steel core mainly plays the role of increasing strength, and Aluminum strand mainly plays the role of transmitting electric energy. The cross-sectional area of the conductor varies according to the voltage. For example, the current domestic 500 kilovolt transmission lines are generally LGJ-400/35 conductors. L is the abbreviation of aluminium wire, G is the abbreviation of steel core, J is the abbreviation of stranded wire, 400 is aluminium 400 square millimeter, 35 is steel 35 square millimeter.
