Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a thermosetting material obtained by forming cross linkages in polyethylene molecules. In the past two decades PVC had been the preferred material for insulating cables. It combined case of processing had good Electrical Properties and was economical. However, it suffered from inherent disadvantages because of its thermoplastic nature. This restricted the maximum operating temperature of the conductor and ability to withstand thermal overloads. It also had higher dielectric loss which makes its use economical in cables.
> Higher current rating
> Higher short circuit rating (approx. 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.
> Has better resistance to most chemicals, oils and acids etc.
> Low dielectric losses.
> Better resistance to chemicals and corrosive gases etc.
> Comparatively higher cable operating temperature 90° C and short circuit temperature 250° Smaller bending radius longer service life.
> 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.
XLPE Cables can also be used with FRLS PVC Sheathing to meet flame retardant low smoke properties.
