COMMON QUESTIONS

SHENXING Cable Service FAQs

Want to learn more? Check out our electrical cable most frequently asked questions.

What applications is this cable suitable for?

This cable is mainly suitable for underground power transmission, industrial power distribution, construction projects and energy facilities, especially in environments that require protection and resistance to mechanical damage.

What is the maximum operating temperature of this cable?

The maximum operating temperature of the cable conductor is 70℃, and the maximum temperature of the conductor can reach 160℃ during short circuit, but the duration shall not exceed 5 seconds.

Can this cable be installed in extreme climate conditions?

Yes, the minimum installation and laying temperature of the cable is 0℃. Therefore, it can be installed in low temperature environments, but special protection measures are required when installed in extremely cold environments.

Can the cable be used in water or humid environments?

Yes, the cable has a PVC sheath and steel belt armor, which is waterproof and moisture-proof, and is suitable for buried or humid environments, such as underground cable ducts or moist soil.

What are the temperature requirements for laying the cable in the air and underground?

When laying in the air, the recommended ambient temperature is 40℃; when buried in the soil, the ambient temperature should be 25℃ to ensure the best working performance of the cable.

What are the advantages of using aluminum core instead of copper core?

Aluminum core cable is lighter and less expensive than copper core, suitable for long-distance power transmission projects, and can also meet most industrial and commercial uses in terms of conductivity.

What is the bending radius of the cable?

The bending radius of the cable is usually 15 times its outer diameter. During installation, make sure not to exceed this limit to avoid damaging the internal structure of the cable.

How is the fire resistance of the cable?

The PVC sheath of this cable has a certain degree of fire resistance and flame retardancy under normal conditions, but it is not suitable for use in occasions that require strict fire protection requirements. If there are special fire protection requirements, special fire-resistant cables can be selected.

How long is the life of the cable?

Under standard installation and working conditions, the service life of this cable is generally 25-30 years, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance.

What should be paid attention to during cable construction?

During construction and installation, make sure that the temperature is not lower than 0℃, and comply with the bending radius and mechanical load limits of the cable to avoid damage to the cable during transportation and laying.
