What is XLPE insulated power cable?

XLPE insulation is a type of insulation used in the power cable. It's a relatively new type of insulation that offers some unique features compared to traditional insulation materials.

One common type of XLPE is sheathed cable, a tube-like insulation covered in a protective sheath. This type of cable typically has an outer diameter of 3/8 inches (9 mm) or less and is suitable for applications with critical flexibility and durability.

The unsheathed cable typically has an outer diameter of 5/16 inches (8 mm) or greater and is best suited for applications where durability and resistance to corrosion are essential. This cable type is typically used in electric traction lines, switchgear, and heavy construction equipment applications.

What are the key benefits of using XLPE-insulated power cables?

The benefits of using XLPE-insulated power cables are significant. These cables offer many advantages over other types of insulation, such as being more flexible and lighter weight. Additionally, they are often less costly to produce, which can lead to savings on your energy bills. It is important to understand the different types of XLPE to choose the right style for your application. Additionally, XLPE cables have a low impedance which means they can carry higher currents without deteriorating performance. They also have low capacitance, reducing crosstalk and noise interference.
