Cleaning solution and cleaning method for an electrical conductor

摘要

The invention provides a conductor cleaning solution and a method for cleaning aluminum strands of all aluminum and steel reinforced conductors, such as ACSS, ACSR, ACAR, and AAA. The conductor cleaning method provides a container (11) adapted to receive a portion of a conductor to be cleaned, a housing (13) adapted to receive and support the container (11), and a cleaning solution contained in the container (11) for cleaning the portion of the conductor. The cleaning solution being adapted to clean the conductor without reacting with or damaging the conductor. A method of determining when to replace a cleaning solution in a conductor cleaning system with a new cleaning solution is also disclosed.
