How 0.6/1kV XLPE Insulated Cables Redefine Electrical Safety & Efficiency
Why Global Engineers Choose XLPE Technology
Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) transforms cable performance through molecular cross-linking – creating a 3D network that delivers:
- 90°C continuous thermal resilience (130°C emergency/250°C short-circuit) – outperforming PVC by 40% in heat resistance
- Zero oil migration risk vs. traditional paper-insulated cables, enabling vertical installation without height restrictions
- Water treeing resistance preventing insulation degradation in humid environments
- Halogen-free flame retardancy (FR-PVC sheath) meeting IEC 60332-3 for critical infrastructure safety
Engineering Excellence in Every Strand
Triple-Layer Defense Construction
- Conductor: Oxygen-free copper (IEC 60228 Class 2) for 99.9% conductivity efficiency
- Insulation: XLPE matrix with 25kV/mm dielectric strength – 3× higher than standard PE
- Sheath: Black PVC/FR-PVC (ST2 standard) resisting chemicals, UV, and mechanical stress
Smart Installation Advantage
- Bend radius as low as 15× cable OD (multi-core) for tight spaces
- No external force tolerance requires conduit/tray protection – ideal for:
Global Compliance, Local Reliability
Certifications That Build Trust
- Mandatory: CE, CCC, KEMA
- On-demand: BS (UK), DIN (EU), ICEA (North America)
Tested Beyond Standards
- Partial discharge <10pC at 1.73U₀
- DC resistance compliance per GB/T 3956
- 73.5kV/5min voltage withstand test
