[0002] With the rapid development of the economy and society, the number of high-load power-consuming projects, such as super-tall landmark buildings, large industrial parks, petrochemical plants, and steel mills, continues to increase. Given the limitations of voltage levels and conductor cross-sections, achieving high-power transmission of electrical energy requires increasing the current carrying capacity of cables. Fluctuations in raw material prices directly impact the market for copper conductor cables. Effectively improving the heat dissipation capacity of the cable itself can conserve conductor material and achieve high-power transmission of electrical energy. Current approaches to heat dissipation in cable installations generally involve increasing the installation space or adding active ventilation, but these are often less than ideal in the summer when ambient temperatures rise.
