Water Cooled Cable
A Water Cooled Cable is a specialized conductor used in electric arc furnaces (EAFs), induction furnaces, and other high-current applications. It is designed to handle high electrical loads while maintaining optimal cooling to prevent overheating.
- Categories:
Conductor Material: High-purity copper strands for maximum conductivity.
Cooling System: Internal water circulation to dissipate heat efficiently.
Outer Hose: Multi-layered insulation with heat-resistant materials.
Operating Voltage: Typically ranges from 600V to 5kV, depending on application.
Current Capacity: Can handle several thousand amperes.
Heat Shield: Protective woven material to resist furnace radiation.
Abrasion Protection: Reinforced rubber bumpers or spiral wraps for durability.
Terminal Type: Silver-plated copper terminals for low contact resistance.
Water Pressure Resistance: Designed to withstand continuous water pressure up to 90 PSI
Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) – Used as secondary conductors for high-current transmission.
Induction Furnaces – Ensures efficient power delivery while maintaining cooling.
Steel Melt Shops – Essential for maintaining stable electrical connections in steel production.
