A research on high voltage cables consisting of different conductors having the same rated voltages
Öz
Aluminum and copper conductors are commonly used in the transport of energy. In this work, high-voltage cables occurring aluminum and copper conductors exposed to the same rated voltage values were analyzed. In order to obtain the same current carrying capacity for copper and aluminum conductors, the relationship between the cross-sections has been determined and then the most appropriate cross-sectional values for each conductor were identified. Three different cross-sectional values have been selected for each conductor type and the calculations for the cables were carried out by using the Cable Ampacity Calculations Program (CYMCAP) within the framework of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. The performance of the cables has been compared in terms of material losses, cable structures and the cable costs. It is seen from the simulation results that aluminum conductor cables have lower cost and higher electrical loses than the copper conductor cables.
