Comparison between the advantages of

XPLE CABLES VERSUS PVC


1-Introduction
Insulation is very important and integral part in the manufacturing of
cables .
It is important for many reasons like protection of conductors and also
protection of people themselves . it is important to decide type of
insulation for each different condition .
In this report we will first explain why XPLE cables is better than PV
cables and then we will the applications of the two cables and finally a
general comparison between them.
2- XPLE versus PVC .
XLPE cables are found to give far better performance
compared to PVC both in function and economy. This is due to
the fact that the XLPE is a thermosetting plastic while PVC is a
thermoplastic material.
XLPE is Cross-lined Polyethylene. Polythene is a
thermoplastic material consisting of long chain of hydrocarbon
molecules. The process of cross-lining or vulcanisation
consists of producing chemical bonds at intervals between the
long molecular chains to give a !ladder" effect which prevents
slippage between molecules. #s a result of cross-lining$ the
material becomes heat resistant and does not soften at high
temperatures. %t develops resistance to stress cracing and
ageing . &ith the change in structure$ the XLPE derives
superior electrical properties.
XLPE Cables have higher current rating and longer service life
compared to PVC Cables. 'nder short circuit condition$ this
cable can withstand up to ()*+C temperature compared to
,-*+C for PVC cables. %t also has higher overloading capacity
under emergency conditions.
XLPE Cables are ideal for transmission and distribution of
power because it has high corrosion resistance under polluted
atmosphere along with better resistance power against
chemicals and corrosive alalis.
.ot only this it can withstand vibration and hot impacts. %t also
has ,** times more moisture resistance capacity compared to
PVC.
The low dielectric losses in XLPE Cables are a significant
advantage.
XLPE cables has low installation cost because of light weight$
dimension and fle/ibility. The 0oining is far more easier and
1uicer. The fle/ibility can be retained even in sub 2ero
temperatures 3 -4* +C5
XLPE cables has insulation resistance of ,*** times compared
to PVC cables.
3- XPLE applications .

1) XLPE cables work for the working voltage of !"# V to $##

2) onductor &aterial can be either opper or 'luminium.
3) XLPE cables can be either (ingle ore cables or &ulti core
cables depending upon the number of cores.
