1) PRODUCT MANUFACTURING PROCESS

2) LOW VOLTAGE INSULATED CABLES (XLPE INSULATED CABLES)

 Electrical parameter of product
Operating Voltage, Uo/U:
0.5m
(a) For 600/1000V cables
(b) For 1900/3300V cables 0.8m
Operating Temperature -15°C and 90°C

Finale Short Circuit Temperature 250°C

Test Voltage 3.5KV

Rating factor of other temperature:

Correction factors for ambient air temperatures.

Correction factors for ambient ground temperatures

 Construction and design

Description
Circular compacted stranded copper or aluminium conductor, cross-linked
polyethylene, extruded outer sheath made from MDPE or HDPE or PVC.

Construction
Conductor Plain circular compacted stranded Copper (CU) or
 Aluminium (AL) conductor conform to class 2 in
IEC 60228.
Type of Low Voltage  PVC insulated cables
 XLPE insulated cables
Insulation An extruded layer of cross-linked polyethylene
(XLPE) compound rated at 90° C

Color of core identification  Single Core-natural (black on request)

 Two Core-red (black)

 Three Core-red (yellow, and blue)

 Four Core-red (yellow, blue and black)

Lay Up Cores Two, three, four or five insulated conductors are

Non-conductive binder tape
Outer sheath
laid up together, if necessary, filled with non-
hygroscopic material compatible with the insulation
and covered with of PVC or MDPE or HDPE inner
sheath which may be an integral part of the filling.
Applied when requested by purchaser for single
core. A layer of non-conductive tape helically
wraps with overlap laid over lay-up cores.
Extruded layer made from black PVC or MDPE or
HDPE compound. Additive like Anti-termite
repellent, anti-rodent or different outer sheath color
are available upon request.

 Application
 Low Voltage of XLPE insulated power cable are used as electricity power
transmission lines which applies common circumstances as below:
1 Mainly used for transmitting electricity power or used as control cable.
2 Common operating temperature up to 90°C (emergency at 130°C and short
circuit 250°C), both wet or dry location.
3 Voltage rate 600/1KV and 1900/3300V cables
4 Suits for main or secondary power lines of overhead (aerial) installations,
direct burial underground or in dust.
5 Cable trunking, cable tray, cable ladder, in tunnel or wire pipe and in
switchgear and others complex operating environment.
6 Works perfectly after metallic sheath (metal especially aluminum clad) or
metal wire armored (especially steel wire armored - SWA) when isolation of
electromagnetic effects, anti-interference, anti-jamming and additional
strength are required.

 Test related
a) Correction factors for soil thermal resistivities for direct buried single-core cables

b) Correction factors for groups of three-phase circuits of single-core cables laid

direct in the ground:
Number of Spacing between cable centers

1 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
2 0.73 0.83 0.88 0.90 0.92
3 0.60 0.73 0.79 0.83 0.88
 4 0.54 0.68 0.75 0.80 0.84
5 0.49 0.63 0.72 0.78 0.82
6 0.46 0.61 0.70 0.76 0.81

 Advantages of low voltage insulated cables (XLPE insulated cables):

1. Outstanding physical and mechanical toughness
2. Extremely low moisture absorption
3. Excellent ozone resistance
4. Strong resistance to chemicals fumes and gases
5. Low SIC and power factor
6. High impulse strength
7. High insulation resistance and dielectric strength
8. Capability of carrying and terminating
9. Easy to splice and terminate
