XLPE Cable and Frequently Asked Questions

XLPE Cable

What is XLPE Cable?

Cross-linked polyethylene cable is referred to as XLPE cable. The hydronic tubing in question is made of polyethylene plastic. Shape memory properties and a 3D molecular bond structure are properties of XLPE.


What advantages does XLPE offer?

Insulation made of XLPE functions well in both hot and cold temperatures. XLPE is incredibly resistant to abrasion and other types of wear and tear because of its structure. Additionally, it boasts resistance to chemicals, high-voltage electricity, and other dangerous elements. Insulation made of cross-linked polyethylene is likewise less expensive.


What is the maximum voltage for XLPE cables?


On a global basis, HVAC cables are extensively employed at voltage levels up to a maximum voltage of 550 kV. Since 1995, the extruded XLPE insulated cables have been used at 275 kV, and since about 2000, at 400 kV.


What is the XLPE cable's maximum operating temperature?

According to the project, an XLPE transmission system's XLPE component can be used at conductor temperatures of up to 130 °C without experiencing mechanical damage.


Can XLPE be melted?

It is clear that XLPE has entirely melted at 130 °C because there is no visible crystallization peak.


Will XLPE absorb water?


Water or water vapor absorbed in the insulation of a solid dielectric (XLPE) depends on the body structure and the distribution of electrical charges within the body.


What are the uses of XLPE?


Plumbing, mining, and numerous electrical applications can all benefit from the use of XLPE cable. In addition to the chemical sector, cross-linked polyethylene cables are used in the industrial and domestic heating sectors.
