UNARMOURED / ARMOURED XLPE

Features Range:

  • XLPE insulated heavy duty cables were introduced worldwide in mid sixties. These cables have overcome the limitations of PVC Insulated  Cables such as thermal degradation, poor moisture resistance and thermoplastic nature.

Leading Application

The Cables are suitable for use on AC single phase or three phase (earthed or unearthed) systems for rated Voltage up to and including  1100 Volts. These Cables can be used on DC Systems for rated Voltage up to and including 1500 Volts to earth.

Technical Advantages

Higher current rating, higher short circuit rating approx. 1.2 times that of PVC.
Thermosetting in nature.
Higher insulation resistance 1000 times more than PVC cables.
Higher resistance to moisture.
Better resistance to surge currents.
Low dielectric losses.
Better resistance to chemicals.
Longer service life.
Comparatively higher cable operation temperature 90°C and short circuit temperature 250°C

Commercial Advantages

Lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and higher weight.
Lower installation charges as the diameter of cable is comparatively lesser with smaller bending radius, requiring less space  requirement for laying cables.
One size lower cable can be used as compared to PVC insulated cable.
