Product Specification

XLPE:
XLPE is an abbreviation for Cross-linked polyethylene or vulcanized polyethylene. The basic material is low-density polyethylene. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic material consisting of long chains of hydrocarbon molecules. Cross-linking of Polyethylene takes place in a three-dimensional network. As such, XLPE has strong resistance to deformation of higher temperature. XLPE is a non polar material which possesses high insulation resistance and dielectric strength and low dielectric loss.

Advantages of XLPE:
Due to excellent electric thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of XLPE; these cables are widely used by the customers replacing the conventional cables using PVC as insulating material. The various advantages of XLPE cables are given below.

Higher current ratings: It is possible to use one lower size of cable as compared to PVC.
Higher emergence overload withstand capacity. It can withstand overload temperature up to 130Â°C because of better ageing properties and resistance to deformation under load.
Higher short circuit rating: XLPE can withstand short circuit temperatures up to 250Â°C whereas PVC cables can only withstand up to 160Â°C.
Enhanced life because dielectric losses are very small.
Jointings and terminations are very easy.
XLPE cables are not prone to fatigue damage due to vibrations or loading cycles.
Easy handling during installation because these cables are lighter in weight.
XLPE cables retain their flexibility down up to 40Â°C.
No elevation limit.
Better resistance to most chemicals such as ordinary acids, bases and oils.
PVC cables have distinct disadvantages regarding environmental protection. If they burn, they gives off corrosive gases. Although XLPE also burns, but the combustion products- carbon dioxide and water, do not cause a damage. Moreover, it does not melt like Polyethylene.
