he Characteristics of Low Voltage XLPE Power Cable

Application:

Low voltage XLPE power cable has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, but also has the properties of flame retardant and non water-absorption and suitable for underground installation, which can withstand certain mechanical pressure,but can’t withstand mechanical tension.

Standard:

The product implement the standards GB/T5023, equivalent to IEC60 227. And it can also be made complying with ASTM, DIN, BS standards etc. 

Advantage:

Excellent electric and mechanical characteristics Best Resistance chemical corrosion and heat-ageing,environment stress and flame-retardant Simple in structure,Convenient to use Reduce costs.

XLPE Cable VS PVC Cable

XLPE vs PVC cable insulation XLPE is suitable for voltages ranging from low to very high and is superior to other insulating materials such as PVC, EPR and silicone rubber. Cross-linked polyethylene also offers improved chemical and oil resistance at high temperatures, making it suitable for use as a low smoke, zero halogen material. XLPE has superior mechanical properties to many other insulating materials, providing greater tensile strength, elongation and impact resistance. XLPE insulation will not melt or drip even at the temperature of a soldering iron, and it increases flow resistance and improves aging characteristics. Another advantage of XLPE insulation for low voltage cable and medium voltage cables is the increased water tree resistance compared to PE insulation. The water tree is a defect and is the result of an insulation defect, where crack lines appear and grow in the direction of the electric field, increasing with electrical stress. It is worth noting that this effect is not limited to PE materials.
