Unmatched Mechanical ProtectionThe cables galvanized steel strip armouring safeguards the conductors from mechanical damage, making it suitable for direct burial, cable trays, and duct installations. This durable construction ensures consistent performance even in harsh industrial and outdoor settings where mechanical protection is critical.
Superior Flame Retardance and SafetyManufactured as per IEC 60332 for flame retardance, the XLPE insulated cables minimize fire risks, making installations safer for power distribution in buildings and industrial units. The sheaths moisture, oil, chemical, UV, termite, and rodent resistance adds to its safety profile.
Flexible Customization and High Supply CapacityAvailable in standard 100-meter lengths or custom sizes, and with multiple conductor and core configurations, these cables are tailored to different power applications. With a daily supply ability of 50,000 meters and various packaging options, large-scale projects are efficiently supported.
FAQs of Cu Xlpe Strip Armoured:
Q: How do Cu XLPE Strip Armoured cables enhance safety in installations?
A: Cu XLPE Strip Armoured cables are flame retardant as per IEC 60332, and resistant to moisture, oil, chemicals, termites, and rodents. These features reduce the risk of fire and environmental hazards, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Q: What applications are best suited for these armoured cables?
A: These cables are ideal for heavy-duty power transmission, industrial wiring, underground installations, outdoor power distribution, power plants, and locations where high mechanical protection and reliability are required.
Q: When should I opt for additional earth continuity conductors in the cable?
A: Earth continuity conductors are optional in these cables and should be included when the installation requires a dedicated earth path to enhance safety, comply with local electrical regulations, or for specific industrial standards.
Q: Where can these cables be installed and what installation types are supported?
A: Cu XLPE Strip Armoured cables are suitable for direct burial, cable tray, and duct installations. They are designed for use in a variety of environments such as underground systems, industrial facilities, and outdoor settings.
Q: What is the process for customizing cable length, core number, or color?
A: You can request custom sizes, conductor configurations (from 1.5 sq.mm up to 630 sq.mm, and 2, 3, 3.5, or 4 cores), sheath colors, and packaging. Discuss your project requirements with the manufacturer or supplier, who will then design and produce cables as per your specifications.
Q: How does the cables construction contribute to durability and performance?
A: The cable uses high-purity copper conductors for excellent conductivity, XLPE insulation for high dielectric strength, galvanized steel armouring for mechanical protection, and a PVC sheath for resistance to environmental hazards, ensuring long-term reliable performance.
Q: What are the benefits of using Cu XLPE Strip Armoured cables for power distribution?
A: Benefits include high durability, superior flame resistance, UV and moisture protection, excellent mechanical strength, and a wide operating temperature range, making them highly reliable and low-maintenance for critical power infrastructure projects.
