LT XLPE Cables
Our XLPE cables are manufactured with CU/AI Conductor with XLPE Insulation, Laid up, Inner Taped/Extruded. The armouring is of galvanised mild steel wires/strips. The final outer sheath with high grade PVC. All as per relevant IS specification.
Following are some of the outstanding properties of XLPE cables due to which it is superior in insulation application as compared to PVC.
- XLPE cables have a higher conductor temperature rating i.e. 90 as against 70/85" of PVC and hence
- 30% higher current rating. XLPE cables have better properties of resistance to chemical and corrosive gases.
- XLPE cables have better properties to withstand vibrations and hot impacts. Jointing of XLPE cables is easier and quicker.
- XLPE cables have longer life as compared to PVC cables.
- Max. Temperature limit under short circuit conditions for XLPE cable is 250°C as against 160°C for PVC cables. The moisture resistance of XLPE cables in nearly 100 times than that of PVC cables.
- Insulation resistance of XLPE cables is very high compared to PVC (as high as 1000 times). XLPE cables have high corrosion resistance in polluted atmosphere as compared to PVC cables.
- XLPE cables have low installation cost because of light weight, dimensions and far more flexible.
- XLPE cables have higher Tensile Strength than PVC cables.
- Cable Installation - Easy Due To Light Weight
