Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the year is nearing its end. As we look back on the processing and consumption of aluminum in downstream industries over the past year, the aluminum wire and cable sector stands out. Key words such as "ultra-high voltage" and "aluminum as a substitute for copper" have frequently appeared. According to SMM's continuous tracking of aluminum wire and cable enterprises, since April this year, the delivery of orders related to ultra-high voltage has been in full swing, and it was not until November that deliveries were gradually completed. This alleviated the production pressure on enterprises, giving them the opportunity to implement production cuts and conduct equipment maintenance in preparation for next year's production. Clearly, "ultra-high voltage" has become a significant driving force for the development of the aluminum wire and cable industry. So, what exactly is "ultra-high voltage"?
