As a new energy-saving conductor, ACCC conductor, which has the advantages of low weight, high conductivity, can double the ampacity of conventional conductors. However due to the differences between ACCC conductor and conventional conductors, present current-temperature model cannot be directly applied into the ampacity calculating of ACCC conductor. Consequently, the transmission capacity of ACCC conductor is limited. To address this problem, a current-temperature model for ACCC conductor based on thermal equilibrium principle and thermoelectricity analogy theory is proposed in this paper. Then, a GA identification method is employed to identify the model parameters. In order to validate the proposed model, an experiment platform is set up and the experiment results are presented and discussed.
