Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of composite cables, in particular to a composite cable for nuclear power plants which is easy to dissipate heat. Background Art

[0002] The composite cables used in nuclear power plants are designed specifically for this specialized environment and meet stringent safety and reliability requirements. The following are some of the characteristics and requirements for composite cables used in nuclear power plants: Material Selection: Composite cables typically utilize silicone rubber or silicone composites as the core protective material, which exhibits excellent resistance to high temperatures, aging, and radiation. Silicone rubber maintains excellent electrical and mechanical properties even in the extreme environments found in nuclear power plants. Structural Design: The cables have a complex structure and may include multiple layers of protection, such as polyester tape, copper tape filling, and a glass fiber inner sheath, to enhance the cable's mechanical strength and fire resistance. Halogen-free flame-retardant materials are also used to enhance safety and reduce fire risks. Heat Resistance and Stability: Given the high temperatures encountered within nuclear power plants, cables must exhibit excellent heat resistance, using polymers with sufficient heat resistance for insulation and sheathing to ensure long-term, stable operation. Moisture Resistance and Chemical Stability: Cable design must consider moisture resistance and chemical stability requirements to accommodate the potentially humid and corrosive environments found within nuclear power plants. Radiation resistance: Cables near nuclear reactors must be able to withstand certain levels of radiation without compromising performance, which means that both material selection and structural design must consider radiation resistance requirements. In short, nuclear power plant composite cables are carefully designed based on the unique operating environment and safety standards of nuclear power plants, ensuring safe and reliable transmission of power and signals even under extreme conditions.

[0003] In the prior art, since the exterior of composite cables is usually covered with multiple protective layers, the heat dissipation performance of the composite cables is not very good. Cables used in nuclear power plants have a large amount of overcurrent per unit time, so the temperature of their copper wires is higher than that of cables for other purposes for a certain period of time. However, the heat dissipation performance of some cables is not good. In order to prevent major accidents caused by high-temperature combustion, they cannot be used in nuclear power plants for a long time. The external protective layer of some composite cables is not provided with a flame retardant layer, so that there is no flame retardant buffer time when the cable internal combustion occurs, so that the staff does not have more time to perform power-off operations, which leads to accidents.
