Three Gorges of the Yangtze River

The cables and wires of the Three Gorges Project typically refer to those used in the Three Gorges Dam Project, one of the world's largest hydropower projects. This complex includes multiple dams, power stations, and supporting transmission facilities.
Cables within the Three Gorges Project must withstand high currents, as the power stations generate enormous amounts of electricity. These cables must be capable of handling such heavy current loads.
Given the project's humid environment, the cables must exhibit excellent corrosion resistance to withstand moisture and humidity in the air.
They must also function reliably under extreme temperature conditions, including scorching summers and bitterly cold winters.
The Three Gorges region experiences abundant rainfall, demanding cables with superior waterproofing to prevent short circuits or other electrical failures caused by moisture.
Given potential installation in complex terrain and environments, cables require sufficient mechanical strength to withstand physical damage.
With growing environmental awareness, wire and cable materials may increasingly utilize eco-friendly alternatives with reduced environmental impact.
As a long-term operational project, the Three Gorges Dam requires wires and cables with extended service life to minimize replacement and maintenance costs.
Wire and cable designs must comply with safety standards to prevent accidents such as fires and electric shocks.
Wires and cables must meet national and international standards to ensure compatibility and interchangeability with other electrical equipment.
