Power cooper cable with isolated gross-linked polyethylene

High-voltage power cooper cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation, manufactured using peroxide technology, are designated by the index XLPE (XL - Cross-Linked, PE - PolyEthylene). This is a premium product. Cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides excellent insulating properties, reducing signal loss and interference.

The cross-linking process of polyethylene makes it a pure structure. This structure has a high ability to resist deformation even at high temperatures.

Due to the new type of material, XLPE-insulated cable gains the following advantages:

  • higher carrying capacity (permissible load currents are 15-30% higher than the limit for paper-insulated cables);
  • possibility to carry out laying works at temperatures down to minus 20C;
  • high thermal stability current in case of short circuit;
  • low weight, smaller diameter and bending radius facilitate cable laying on complicated routes in the ground and in cable constructions;
  • low specific damageability;
  • large construction length (up to 2 thousand meters).
