Insucon cables & conductors offers l t xlpe/ pvc insulated power, control and instrumentation heavy-duty cables. Xlpe insulated heavy-duty power cables are offered in 1.1 kv. Cross linked polyethylene [xlpe] is a thermosetting material obtained by forming cross linkages in polyethylene molecules. Heavy-duty cables have technical favorable features that include: higher current rating, higher short circuit rating [approximately 1.2 times than pvc], higher insulation resistance [1000 times more than pvc insulating cables], higher resistance to moisture [1000 times more than pvc], better resistance to surge currents, have better resistance to most chemicals, oils and acids, low dielectric losses, better resistance to chemicals and corrosive gases, comparatively higher cable operating temperature 90°c and short circuit temperature 250°c, smaller bending radius, longer service life. These heavy-duty cables have commercial advantages like heavy-duty cables are lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and lighter weight, require less size of cable trays/supports, one size lower cable can be used as compared to pvc insulated cables. Frls/xlpe cables can also be used with frls/pvc sheathing to meet flame retardant low smoke properties.
