Direct Burial: Suitable for scenarios with a small number of cables and long routes. The trench depth must be ≥0.7m (≥1m in farmland), with soft soil or fine sand laid at the bottom, and protective boards covered above the cables. Cable Trench Laying: Suitable for scenarios with many cables and requiring easy maintenance. Keep the trench dry and install drainage facilities.
Laying Method:
Direct Burial: Suitable for scenarios with few cables and long routes. The trench depth should be ≥0.7m (≥1m in farmland), with soft soil or fine sand at the bottom, and protective boards covering the cables above.
Cable Trench Laying: Suitable for scenarios with many cables requiring easy maintenance. Keep the trench dry and install drainage facilities.
Wall Laying: Suitable for indoor spaces with limited room; cables must be fixed to prevent sagging.
Tray Laying: Cables are arranged neatly, with different voltage level cables layered (power cables below, control cables above), and fill rate controlled between 40%-50%.
Precautions:
Mechanical Protection: When cables pass through conduits, the inner diameter of the conduit should be ≥1.5 times the cable outer diameter, and the bending radius should be ≥10-20 times the cable outer diameter to avoid insulation damage.
Grounding Requirements: The steel tape armor and copper shielding layer of three-core cables must be grounded at both ends to prevent electromagnetic interference and fault current hazards.
Regular Inspection: Check cable appearance (damage, cracking, discoloration), joint temperature (using infrared thermography), and load current to ensure safe operation.

Main Features of Insulated Overhead Conductors
Good insulation performance: Due to the additional insulation layer, insulated overhead conductors have better insulation performance than bare conductors, which can reduce the phase-to-phase distance of the line, lower the insulation requirements for line supports, and increase the number of circuits on the same pole.
Performance Characteristics of Steel Core Aluminum Stranded Wire
Lightweight and High Strength: Steel core aluminum stranded wire is lightweight, about half the weight of traditional concentric conductors, making it easy to install and transport. The addition of the steel core significantly enhances the tensile strength of the conductor, enabling it to withstand greater mechanical stress, suitable for long-distance, large-span overhead lines.
Understanding Overhead Insulated Conductors: Benefits and Applications
Overhead insulated conductors (OIC) are increasingly becoming a vital component in modern electrical distribution systems. Unlike traditional bare conductors, OICs are equipped with a layer of insulation that provides significant advantages in terms of safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. This article delves into the technical aspects of overhead insulated conductors, their benefits, a
