Customer Challenge:A large utility company in Africa faced regular interruptions in its high-voltage power transmission lines due to mechanical damage and environmental conditions (e.g., strong winds and rain). They required a robust, reliable solution to transmit power efficiently across long distances, ensuring minimal downtime and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Uni-Cable Solution:Uni-Cable provided ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) cables, which offer the necessary strength to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as wind, ice, and temperature fluctuations. The cables were designed to support the long distances between power substations and urban centers.
Key Features:High Mechanical Strength: The steel core in the ACSR cables ensured that the cables could withstand high mechanical stress due to wind or ice loads.
Enhanced Conductivity: Aluminum conductors ensured minimal energy loss during power transmission.
Durability: The cables were designed to endure harsh weather conditions, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacements.
Outcome: The installation of Uni-Cable’s ACSR cables reduced downtime caused by mechanical damage and environmental factors. The system now operates reliably even in extreme weather conditions, providing uninterrupted power to urban and rural areas.
To meet the diverse demands of the global market, we offer tailored solutions for each type of overhead transmission line cable:Custom Sizing: We provide custom lengths, conductor diameters, and voltage ratings to meet specific customer needs.
Corrosion Protection: For harsh environments, we offer cables with enhanced corrosion protection, such as ACSR/AW and HSTACIR/AW, to ensure durability and a long service life.
Environmental Adaptability: Our cables are designed to perform optimally in a variety of climates, from extreme heat to freezing temperatures, with cables like TACSR and STACIR offering excellent thermal resistance.
Quality Inspection and StandardsThe quality inspection process for overhead transmission line cables follows rigorous international standards to ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency:
ISO 9001 Certification: All products undergo comprehensive quality control procedures and are manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards, ensuring consistent product quality and performance.
IEC Standards: Products are tested and manufactured to meet the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for electrical conductors and cables, ensuring compliance with global regulatory frameworks.
ASTM Standards: In addition to IEC, our products are also compliant with ASTM standards, ensuring compatibility with international markets like the U.S. and Canada.
Testing: Each batch of cables undergoes electrical, mechanical, and environmental testing, including tensile strength tests, resistance measurements, and high-temperature exposure to confirm the product's durability and performance under expected operating conditions.
Production StandardsMaterials: Only high-quality aluminum and steel are used to ensure maximum conductivity, tensile strength, and longevity.
Manufacturing Process: Advanced stranding and insulation processes are employed to ensure uniformity and strength. Each stage of the production process is closely monitored.
Compliance with National and International Regulations: The production of our overhead transmission line cables adheres to both national and international electrical standards, including compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), IEEE Standards, and EN Standards.
