Product Profile of LT Cross-linked Polyethylene-XLPE Cables

Indian Cab Corporation is manufacturer of LT Cross-linked polyethylene-XLPE Cables. The LT Cross-linked polyethylene-XLPE Cables are XLPE insulated heavy duty cables that are manufactured as per 15-7098 Part-1 & Part-2 and can also be manufactured to meet the requirements of any of international standards like B5-5467, IEC-60502, DIN etc.

Indian Cab Corporation is an ISO: 9001 company that offers Electric Wires & Cables. The LT Cross-linked polyethylene-XLPE Cables are manufactured in highly quality conscious environment with testing and inspection from raw-materials to finished cable stage. These cables have overcome the limitation of PVC Insulated Cables such as thermal degradation, poor moisture resistant and thermoplastic in nature. The advantages of XLPE Insulated cables in comparison to those of PVC insulated cables are as under:

Technical Advantages of LT Cross-linked polyethylene-XLPE Cables are:

• 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.

• Better Resistance to Surge currents.

• Low Dielectric Losses.

• Better resistance to chemicals and corrosion.

• Longer Service life.

• Comparatively higher cable operating temperature 90 Deg and short circuit temperature 250 Deg C.


Commercial Advantages of LT Cross-linked polyethylene-XLPE Cables are:

• Lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and lighter weight.

• Requiring less size of cable trays / supports.

• One size lower cable can be used as compared to PVC insulated cable.

• Density of XLPE is lower than PVC

• For longer cable length voltage drop shall be considered.
