Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw Material Test is the critical first step in manufacturing the 3-Layer 35kV AAC/AAAC/ACSR Tree Wire. Incoming aluminum rods (for AAC or AAAC) or aluminum and steel wires (for ACSR) undergo detailed chemical composition analysis to confirm purity and alloy requirements per ASTM standards. Mechanical testing verifies tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. HDPE or XLPE covering compounds are rigorously tested for thermal stability, tracking resistance, dielectric strength, and weatherability. Surface quality inspection and dimensional measurements detect any defects or inconsistencies. Only raw materials that fully pass every stringent criterion are approved for stranding and triple-layer extrusion in the production of the 3-Layer 35kV AAC/AAAC/ACSR Tree Wire. This thorough incoming inspection guarantees consistent conductivity, mechanical strength, and superior triple-layer covering performance for reliable overhead tree wire applications.
Process inspection
Process Inspection during manufacturing of the 3-Layer 35kV AAC/AAAC/ACSR Tree Wire maintains precise control at every stage. After conductor stranding (AAC, AAAC, or ACSR), continuous monitoring verifies dimensional tolerances and surface quality. The triple-layer covering extrusion process is carefully controlled for uniform thickness of all three layers, ensuring strong interlayer adhesion and absence of voids. Online diameter measurement systems and frequent visual checks prevent defects such as uneven covering or imperfections. Key process parameters including temperature, speed, and extrusion pressure are strictly logged. Mid-process sampling includes partial discharge and mechanical tests. Any deviation triggers immediate corrective action. These rigorous in-process controls safeguard the structural integrity and electrical properties of the 3-Layer 35kV AAC/AAAC/ACSR Tree Wire, delivering a high-quality covered conductor ready for demanding overhead distribution service.
Finished Product
Finished Product testing ensures every reel of 3-Layer 35kV AAC/AAAC/ACSR Tree Wire meets the highest quality standards. Comprehensive dimensional verification confirms overall diameter, covering thickness, and conductor stranding. DC resistance, high-voltage AC, and partial discharge tests validate electrical performance. Mechanical tests measure tensile strength and elongation. Tracking and weathering resistance tests are performed on covering samples. Full visual and tactile inspections check for surface defects or covering imperfections. All examinations follow ICEA S-121-733 and ASTM standards with detailed records for full traceability. Packaging and marking accuracy are also verified. Only the 3-Layer 35kV AAC/AAAC/ACSR Tree Wire that successfully passes 100% of these final inspections receives approval for shipment. This rigorous final quality gate assures customers of outstanding dielectric strength, tracking resistance, and reliable performance in tree-prone overhead distribution lines.

FAQ From Customers
-
What are the advantages of power cables and overhead lines?(1) Reliable operation, because it is installed in a hidden place such as underground, it is less damaged by external forces, has less chance of failure, and the power supply is safe, and it will not cause harm to people; (2) The maintenance workload is small and frequent inspections are not required; (3) No need to erect towers; (4) Help improve power factor.
-
Which aspects should be considered when choosing the cross section of a power cable?(1) The long-term allowable working current of the cable; (2) Thermal stability once short circuited; (3) The voltage drop on the line cannot exceed the allowable working range.
-
What are the measures for cable fire prevention?(1) Use flame-retardant cables; (2) Use fireproof cable tray; (3) Use fireproof paint; (4) Fire partition walls and fire baffles are installed at cable tunnels, mezzanine exits, etc.; (5) Overhead cables should avoid oil pipelines and explosion-proof doors, otherwise local pipes or heat insulation and fire prevention measures should be taken.
-
What should be paid attention to during the transportation and handling of cables?(1) During transportation, loading and unloading, cables and cable reels should not be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to push the cable reels directly from the vehicle. Generally, cables should not be transported and stored flat. (2) Before transporting or rolling the cable reel, ensure that the cable reel is firm, the cable is wound tightly, the oil pipe between the oil-filled cable and the pressure oil tank should be fixed without damage, the pressure oil tank should be firm, and the pressure indication should meet the requirements.
-
What inspections should be carried out for the acceptance of cable lines?(1) The cable specifications should meet the regulations, the arrangement should be neat, no damage, and the signs should be complete, correct and clear; (2) The fixed bending radius of the cable, the related distance and the wiring of the metal sheath of the single-core power cable should meet the requirements; (3) The cable terminal and the middle head should not leak oil, and the installation should be firm. The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable and the meter setting should meet the requirements; (4) Good grounding; (5) The color of the cable terminal is correct, and the metal parts such as the bracket are completely painted; (6) There should be no debris in the cable trench, tunnel, and bridge, and the cover should be complete.
