WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF XLPE INSULATED POWER CABLES COMPARED WITH ORDINARY POWER CABLES?

Date:06-16-2022

1. First of all, the most intuitive point is that the insulation materials of XLPE insulated power cables and PE insulated power cables are different.

2. Compared with ordinary power cables, XLPE insulated power cables have better temperature resistance, and their temperature resistance levels can reach more than 100 degrees Celsius, while ordinary power cables are usually 70 degrees Celsius, and there is a gap in temperature resistance.

3. Under the condition of the same conductor cross-sectional area, the current carrying capacity of the XLPE insulated cable is higher than that of the PVC cable.

4. When the non-crosslinked PVC insulated cable is burned, toxic fumes will be released. Therefore, in the case of low toxicity in fire protection requirements, there is no way to use PVC cables. XLPE insulated cables are suitable for distribution networks, industrial installations or other fields that require large-capacity power consumption. They are used for fixed laying on power transmission and distribution lines with AC 50Hz and rated voltage of 6kV to 35kV. The main function is to transmit electric energy.
