CONT

Standard 6201 alloy conductors are similar to other alloy conductors commercially known as Ardival, Aldrey or Almelec. They were developed to fill the need for an economical conductor for overhead applications requiring higher strength than that obtainable with 1350 grade aluminum conductors, but without a steel core.

CONT

Aldrey wires (AY) usually make up the outer layer of armoring. Aldrey - a highly conductive alloy of aluminum, magnesium and silicon - has twice the tensile strength of pure aluminum.

CONT

The conductors are made by 150 wires of Aldrey around a core of 37 wires of stalum avoiding in this way corrosion problems.

OBS

Aldrey® is a trade mark of Aluminium Suisse.

DEF

Alliage d'aluminium, de fer, silicium et magnésium; excellent conducteur, on en fait des lignes électriques à haute tension.

CONT

Pour distribuer l'énergie, le distributeur utilise des câbles et des transformateurs. Le passage du courant provoque des pertes qui peuvent être : ohmiques - donc en phase avec le courant consommé. Les câbles utilisés sont en cuivre, en aluminium ou en Aldrey (les lignes à haute tension).

CONT

Armature en feuillards d'Aldrey.
