Benefits of Greased Conductors in Electrical Cables

Greased conductors in electrical cables offer several advantages that enhance the performance, durability, and reliability of conductors. The advantages are as follows:

1. Improved Adhesion Between Conductor and Insulation
    Enhanced bond strength: The grease fills microscopic voids and irregularities on the conductor's surface, promoting a stronger bond with the insulation.
    Reduced void formation: Fewer voids mean a lower risk of partial discharges, which can degrade insulation over time.
2. Reduced Conductor Oxidation
    Corrosion prevention: The grease acts as a barrier between the conductor and the atmosphere, inhibiting oxidation processes.
    Improved conductivity: For aluminum conductors, greasing can significantly reduce oxide formation, maintaining higher conductivity.
3. Enhanced Conductor Flexibility
    Reduced bending stress: The grease acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the conductor strands and the insulation, allowing for easier bending without damage.
    Extended service life: Reduced bending stress contributes to a longer service life, especially for cables subjected to frequent flexing.
4. Improved Thermal Conductivity
    Enhanced heat dissipation: Some greases have excellent thermal conductivity, aiding in heat dissipation from the conductor, which is crucial for preventing overheating.
5. Protection Against Mechanical Damage
    Reduced abrasion: The grease acts as a barrier, protecting the conductor from abrasion during installation and service.
6. Improved Electrical Properties
    Reduced dielectric losses: The grease can help reduce dielectric losses, improving the cable's efficiency.
