What Is an AC Charging Cable?

　　An AC charging cable is a specialized power cable used to transmit alternating current (AC) electricity between an electric vehicle (EV) and a charging station. It’s an essential component in electric vehicle charging systems, designed for both efficiency and safety. Below is an overview of its materials, applications, and key features.

　　一. Materials

　　1. Conductor

　　Made of highpurity oxygenfree copper or tinned copper strands for excellent conductivity and low resistance.

　　The stranded structure provides flexibility and strong tensile strength.

　　2. Insulation Layer

　　Common materials: crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

　　Offers high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, and long service life.

　　3. Shielding (optional)

　　Aluminum foil and braided copper shielding reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improve signal stability.

　　4. Outer Sheath

　　Typically made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or TPE, providing excellent flexibility, waterproofing, and oil resistance.

　　The surface is UVresistant and wearresistant, suitable for outdoor use.

　　二. Applications

　　EV charging station manufacturing

　　New energy vehicle infrastructure and installation

　　Public and commercial charging stations

　　Home garages and personal EV chargers

　　Testing and assembly lines in EV factories

　　三. Key Features

　　1. High Safety and Reliability – Excellent insulation, highvoltage resistance, and flame retardancy. Meets IEC 62196 and GB/T 20234 standards.

　　2. Flexible and Durable – Designed to withstand tens of thousands of bending cycles, ideal for frequent plugging and movement.

　　3. Waterproof and Oilresistant – Rated IP55 to IP67 for use in rain or humid environments.

　　4. Allweather Performance – Operates from 40°C to +105°C, suitable for indoor and outdoor conditions.

　　5. Ecofriendly Materials – Halogenfree, lowsmoke, and RoHScompliant for environmental safety.
