IEC/BS standard XLPE Insulated LV Power Cable

IEC/BS standard XLPE Insulated LV Power Cable

Specifications:

    XLPE Insulated Cable is laying indoors and outdoors. Able to bear certain traction during installation, but not external mechanical forces. Laying single core cable in magnetic ducts is not allowed.

Quick Detail

Parameter Table

XLPE insulated power cable has a number of advantages over paper insulated and PVC insulated cable. XLPE cable has high electric strength, mechanical strength, high-ageing resistance, environmental stress resisting anti-chemical corrosion, and it is simple construction, using convenient and higher operating of long term temperature. It can be laid with no drop restriction. Various of flame-retardant and non-flame retardant XLPE cable can be manufactured with three technologies(peroxide,silence,and irradiation cross linking).The flame-retardant cable covers all kinds of low- smoke,low-halogen,low-smoke halogen free and non-smoke no halogenated and three classes of A,B,C.
