Copper cross-border electrical circle, "wisdom" to create a new future of electric power

At present, with the rapid development of science and technology, the integration of materials and industry continues to promote innovation and change. Copper, this ancient and dynamic metal material, with its own excellent performance

cross-border electrical circle, and the deep integration of intelligent waves, is in a unique way to "smart" create a new future of electricity, bringing unprecedented breakthroughs and development for the electrical field.

Copper material: the traditional mainstay of the electrical field

For a long time, copper has played an indispensable role in the electrical field. Its ultra-high conductivity allows electricity to be transmitted efficiently, making it the core material for wires and cables. In the huge and complex urban power grid, the copper core cable is like the blood vessel of the human body, carrying the heavy responsibility of power transmission. Taking UHV transmission lines as an example, the use of copper as a wire can effectively reduce the resistance loss in the transmission process. According to the authoritative data show that under the same specifications, compared with the aluminum core cable, the power loss can be reduced by about 20%, which greatly improves the power transmission efficiency and ensures the stable power supply of urban production and life.

 

In the field of motor manufacturing, copper material is also the key. The motor winding selection of copper wire, not only because of its good electrical conductivity, can make the motor efficient operation, reduce energy consumption, but also because of its excellent heat resistance and mechanical strength. When the industrial electric machine runs for a long time at high load, the copper wire can stably carry the large current, maintain the stable operation of the motor, and ensure the continuous operation of the factory production line; In the household electric motor, it also relies on these characteristics to ensure the reliable use of household appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., to provide convenience for daily life.

Copper products: multiple carriers for electrical applications

Copper products are active in every corner of the electrical field in a rich variety of forms. All kinds of copper electrical connecting parts, such as precision terminal, commonly used plug and socket, are the key to ensure the stability of circuit connection. After fine processing, they have smooth surface and close contact, which can effectively reduce contact resistance and reduce heating phenomenon. These high-quality copper connectors are vital in data centers, where the stable operation of a large number of servers depends on them to ensure the reliability of power connections, which can lead to data loss and service disruption.

Copper radiators are also an essential component of electronic equipment. When

computer cpus, power amplifiers and other devices are running, they generate a lot of heat. Copper radiators use their excellent thermal conductivity to quickly

 

conduct the heat away, and then dissipate the heat into the air through structures such as cooling fins. Experiments show that the use of copper radiator electronic equipment, the operating temperature is 5-10 ℃ lower than that of other materials radiator equipment, greatly improve the stability and service life of the equipment, to ensure that the equipment can run stably for a long time, to meet the high performance needs of users.

Intelligent enabling: The new journey of copper in the electrical field

With the arrival of the intelligent era, copper has ushered in a new development opportunity in the electrical field. In the construction of smart grid, copper is closely integrated with smart sensing technology and big data analysis. For example, in the power transmission line of the smart substation, the copper- plated optical fiber composite overhead ground wire is used, which not only has the lightning protection and shielding functions of the traditional ground wire, but also can monitor the current, temperature, stress and other parameters of the line in real time through the built-in optical fiber sensor, and transmit the data to the background for analysis and processing. Once the line is abnormal, the system can issue an early warning in time and take corresponding measures to realize the intelligent management of power transmission and improve the safety and reliability of power grid operation.

Copper also plays an important role in electric vehicle charging facilities. The internal circuit of the fast charging pile uses a lot of copper to carry the fast transmission of large currents. At the same time, through the intelligent control

 

system, the charging power and current can be adjusted intelligently according to the state of the electric vehicle battery, so as to achieve a fast and safe charging process. In addition, the information interaction between the charging pile and the vehicle also relies on the signal transmission line made of copper to ensure the intelligent and efficient charging process.

Copper-based new materials: open a new chapter of electrical intelligence

The research and development of new copper-based new materials has injected a strong impetus into the intelligent development of the electrical field. Copper based superconducting materials show zero resistance and complete diamagnetism characteristics, if the large-scale application, superconducting cables will be almost zero loss in the case of transmission of electricity, greatly improve the efficiency of power transmission, change the existing power transmission pattern. For example, in the power transmission of urban core areas, the use of superconducting cables can greatly reduce the number of substations, reduce power loss, and improve the reliability of power supply.

Copper-based nanocomposites are also coming to the forefront in the manufacture of electronic components. By combining nanotechnology with copper, the material has greater strength, electrical conductivity and stability. When manufacturing integrated circuit interconnectors, the use of copper based nanocomposites can effectively reduce the line width, improve the integration and operation speed of electronic components, and promote the development of electronic devices to smaller sizes and higher performance, providing key support

 

for chip manufacturing in fields such as artificial intelligence and 5G communication.

 

Copper cross-border electrical circle, with its own advantages and intelligent technology close integration, is an all-round "intelligent" to create a new future of electric power. From traditional power transmission to smart grid construction, from electronic equipment manufacturing to new energy vehicle charging facilities, the innovative application of copper and its products and new materials in the electrical field will continue to promote the power industry to the intelligent, efficient and green development path, and bloom more dazzling light in the future scientific and technological change.
