FAQs of Xlpe Insulated Steel Tape Armoured Power Cable:
Q: How is XLPE Insulated Steel Tape Armoured Power Cable installed?
A: The cable can be installed in both underground and overhead settings, following the minimum bending radius of 12 times the overall diameter to ensure safety and longevity. Secure fixing and careful handling during installation prevent damage to the armouring and insulation.
Q: What benefits does steel tape armouring provide in this cable?
A: Steel tape armouring grants robust mechanical protection, safeguarding the cable against mechanical impacts, rodent attacks, and soil pressure. It also enhances the cables suitability for challenging environments, ensuring reliable performance throughout its service life.
Q: Where can this cable be used effectively?
A: It is ideal for power transmission and distribution in industrial plants, commercial facilities, utility substations, underground and overhead power lines, and residential wiring, especially where high mechanical, fire, and environmental resistance are required.
Q: What is the fire performance rating of the cable?
A: This cable complies with IEC 60332 and IS 10810-53 flame retardant standards, ensuring it ignites less readily and helps prevent fire propagation, making it a safe choice for critical installations.
Q: When should halogen-free XLPE cables be considered?
A: Halogen-free cables are recommended for installations where strict fire safety regulations apply, such as public buildings, mass transit facilities, or server rooms, as they reduce toxic smoke emission during fire incidents.
Q: What is the testing process for this cables quality assurance?
A: The cable is tested for insulation thickness, sheath adherence, dielectric strength, short circuit rating, and withstand voltage ranging from 3.5 kV to 21 kV, according to IS: 7098 and IEC 60502 standards, ensuring reliability and safety before dispatch.
Q: How does insulation thickness affect cable performance?
A: Insulation thickness, determined by voltage grade and cable size, directly influences dielectric strength and operational safety. Proper insulation, ranging from 0.7 mm to 3.2 mm, ensures safe transmission and meets international and domestic standards.
