Abstract:The comparison and selection of conductors are introduced in Changjiang river crossing project of Shenhua 500 kV transmission line in Wanzhou,Chongqing. The JGQNRLH/EST - 630 /80 heat - resistant aluminum alloy conductor steel reinforced with high strength is selected from 6 different large span conductors through calculating the allowing current of conductor,the electromagnetic environment of all kinds of bundled conductor and the load of tower,and comprehensively comparing and analyzing the economy and technology.
