Copper vs. Aluminum Power Cables
1.Prioritize Copper Core (YJV) for:
Mission-Critical Installations: Hospitals, data centers, high-rise buildings, fire protection circuits.
Applications Requiring Flexibility: Dense cable tray routing, confined spaces, or any frequent movement.
High Long-Term Reliability Needs: Substations, key power distribution loops.
Smaller Cross-Sections (≤16mm²): Where aluminum’s mechanical disadvantages are most pronounced.
2.Prioritize Aluminum Core (YJLV) for:
Large-Section, Long-Distance Power Transmission: Medium-voltage distribution, overhead lines.
Budget-Sensitive, Large-Scale Projects: Industrial parks, municipal power distribution, non-critical loads.
Long-Span Installations: Where reducing weight on poles, towers, or trays is a primary concern.
Direct Burial or Outdoor Projects: Lightweight cables ease handling and reduce installation difficulty.
