The invention discloses an online hollow cable and a
diameter expansion mechanism for
processing the same. The online hollow cable comprises an aluminum tube, a
copper tube and an insulating jacket layer, the aluminum tube is mounted inside the
copper tube in a sleeved manner, a main insulating layer is connected outside the
copper tube in a sleeved manner, a semiconductive layer is connected outside the main insulating layer in a sleeved manner, a shielding
protection layer is connected outside of the semiconductive layer in a sleeved manner, and the insulating jacket layer is connected outside the shielding
protection layer. Structural features of conventional buses are changed according to characteristics of current; by adopting a tubular structure and shielding insulation technology,
dead weight is reduced, and the online hollow cable is safe, reliable, energy-saving and material-saving. Aluminum is used to save copper, so that cost is lowered substantially, and the nation and thepeople can be benefitted; an insulation shielding material can be used in various severe natural conditions, has excellent
electrical performance and
chemical stability and is little in medium loss,
flame-resistant and aging-resistant, and service life is longer than 40 years. The shielding material is a copper film or an aluminum film. A shielding
magnetic field is uniform in distribution, localdischarging potential is improved, and
electric energy loss is lowered.
