LT Power Cables with PVC or XLPE insulation of voltage grade upto 3.3 kv conforming
TO VARIOUS Indian and International Standard Specifications. Cross Linked Polyethylene
(XLPE) XLPE means cross-linked polyethylene or vulcanized polyethylene. The basic
material is low density polyethylene. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic material
consisting of long chain of hydrocarbon molecules. At elevated temperatures these
molecules tend to move relative to one another so that the material becomes increasingly
deformable and will eventually melt at the temperature around 110°C.
By means of process similar to the vulcanization of rubber the polyethylene molecules
can be cross-linked. The process of cross-linking or vulcanization consists of
producing chemical bonds at interval between the long molecular chain to give
a "ladder" effect which prevents slippage between molecules. As a
result of cross-linking the material becomes heat resistant and does not soften
at higher temperatures. Further it has better resistance to stress cracking and
good resistance to ageing in hot air. With the change of structure there is no
adverse effect on electrical properties.

HT Power Cables
HT Power Cables with PVC or XLPE insulation of voltage grade upto 3.3 kv conforming
TO VARIOUS Indian and International Standard Specifications.
HT XLPE cable i.e. cross linked poly-ethylene insulated cables which offer
on extra ordinary strength to with stand high voltages are used as HT (High
tension cables) for underground voltage transmission systems these cables have
in place of overhead transmission. These XLPE insulated cables have better
electrical, mechanical thermal properties along with its light weight features.
The general construction details are demonstrated in the following tables.
Standards Applicable – IS – 7098 (Part-2), IEC – 60502,
BS – 6622.
