High Tensile JKLGYJ Aerial Cable | ACSR Reinforced XLPE Overhead Line for Long Span Grid Proje

JKLGYJ is a steel-cored aluminum stranded XLPE insulated medium-voltage overhead cable, featuring a high-strength galvanized steel core, tightly stranded aluminum outer conductor, and high-performance cross-linked polyethylene insulation. It covers mainstream medium-voltage levels such as 6/10kV, 12/20kV, and 26/35kV, and is specifically designed for long-span overhead transmission, installation in complex terrain, and power grid construction in areas susceptible to wind and snow.

Unlike pure aluminum JKLYJ and pure copper JKYJ overhead cables, JKLGYJ employs a composite ACSR structural design. Its internal steel core provides superior mechanical tensile strength and sag resistance, while the outer aluminum conductor handles power transmission. Combined with UV-resistant and heat-resistant XLPE insulation, this cable integrates high tensile strength, low loss, excellent thermal stability, strong wind and ice adaptability, and outdoor weather resistance, fully meeting the evaluation standards of global power design engineers, power procurement departments, EPC contractors, and cross-border project investors. They are particularly interested in long-span laying capabilities, adaptability to complex climates, structural stability, and full-cycle operational reliability.

Extruded, monolithic cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation effectively isolates external environmental interference, reduces line exposure risks, optimizes overhead corridor layout, and alleviates daily grid operation load. JKLGYJ products are manufactured in strict accordance with international electrical standards and power industry specifications, possessing a complete range of specifications, stable composite structure formulations, and broad compatibility with global overhead line suspension, tensioning, and connection hardware.

It performs stably under various operating conditions, including valley crossings, long-span river crossings, high-altitude wind zones, northern snow and ice areas, strong wind environments along the coast, and power distribution networks in forest and mountainous areas. It has become the preferred standard solution for global medium-voltage trunk line construction, power supply in remote areas, power transmission lines for new energy power plants, power grid transformation in areas prone to wind and ice disasters, and large-scale rural electrification projects.

• Medium-voltage trunk and branch lines for power grid upgrades in areas prone to windstorms, ice storms, and mountainous disasters.
• Valley crossings, river crossings, and long-span overhead transmission projects where ordinary aluminum cables cannot meet tensile strength requirements.
• Medium-voltage outgoing and grid-connected lines for wind farms and photovoltaic power stations in remote and complex terrains.
• Long-distance overhead power supply projects in remote rural areas, plateau pastoral areas, and islands.
• Overhead distribution networks with high load-bearing requirements in cold northern regions and snow-covered areas.
• Medium-voltage overhead power supply lines for large industrial parks, mining areas, and remote resource development bases.
• Large-scale overhead lines in forested mountainous areas and suburban areas requiring large pole spacing and reduced tower count.

• Composite ACSR Structure, Ultra-High Tensile Strength: The built-in galvanized steel core significantly enhances overall tensile strength, far exceeding that of pure aluminum overhead cables. This effectively controls line sag in long-span installations, allowing for greater tower spacing, reducing the total number of support poles, and lowering infrastructure layout investment for projects.
• Superior Wind and Ice Load Resistance: The steel-aluminum composite structure possesses extremely strong resistance to wind pressure vibration, ice loads, and external mechanical impacts. Even in strong winds, blizzards, and severe cold weather, it maintains a stable structural shape, avoiding line swaying, deformation, and open-circuit faults common in ordinary cables.
• Low Transmission Loss and Stable Current-Carrying Performance: The outer high-purity stranded aluminum conductor maintains low resistivity and stable current-carrying efficiency. Combined with high-quality XLPE insulation, it maintains low dielectric loss and stable temperature rise under long-term full load and seasonal temperature changes, ensuring efficient and economical operation of power lines.
• Superior Low-Temperature and Weathering Resistance: The improved XLPE insulation formula enhances low-temperature toughness, making it less prone to cracking and embrittlement even in frigid environments. It also boasts excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and heat aging, enabling it to withstand year-round outdoor environments without performance degradation.
• Optimized Layout Flexibility for Complex Terrain: With its high tensile strength, JKLGYJ is perfectly suited for long-span installations in mountainous areas, valleys, rivers, and vast wilderness regions. It simplifies line design constraints and increases the flexibility of overhead line selection in complex terrains.
• Safe Insulation and Low Failure Rate: The enclosed XLPE insulation prevents short circuits and leaks caused by tree branch contact, wildlife interference, and floating debris. It improves the safety of lines in mountainous forests and densely populated suburban areas and reduces daily operational inspection workload.
• Universal Accessory Compatibility and Easy Installation: Standard outer diameter and structural parameters are compatible with mainstream global overhead suspension clamps, tensioning fittings, insulation joints, and connecting accessories. No special custom parts are required, accelerating project procurement and improving on-site construction efficiency.

Key Project and Procurement Guidelines

• For long-span crossings, complex mountainous terrain, areas with strong winds and thick ice, JKLGYJ type steel stranded wire should be prioritized; select an appropriate core ratio and conductor cross-sectional area based on the span, local wind and ice levels, and design load current.
• In coastal areas with salt spray and industrial corrosion, select a hot-dip galvanized reinforced steel core version with customized anti-corrosion cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) to delay metal oxidation and insulation aging.
• During handling and installation, minimum bending radius requirements should be followed; avoid severe bending, dragging, and squeezing to prevent insulation damage and potential electrical risks.
• Laying work must not be carried out when the ambient temperature is below -20℃; allow sufficient expansion margin to cope with temperature differences in cold seasons and prevent excessive line tension.
• Overhead hardware matching the steel-cored aluminum stranded wire (ACSR) should be used for support accessories to avoid poor contact and localized overheating, ensuring long-term stable operation of the entire line.
• For ultra-long span laying, professional sag and tension calculations are required to coordinate the tensile properties of the cable with the tower bearing design, thereby maintaining the safety and stability of the line under extreme weather conditions.
