COMMON QUESTIONS

SHENXING Cable Service FAQs

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

What scenarios is this cable suitable for?

This aluminum core XLPE insulated steel tape armored PVC sheathed power cable is suitable for underground laying, building power transmission, industrial equipment power distribution, and power transmission systems. Due to its steel tape armor design, it can resist mechanical stress, making it particularly suitable for environments that require high-strength protection, such as construction sites, underground laying, or humid environments.

What are the advantages of XLPE insulation?

XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation has excellent electrical properties and heat resistance, and can withstand operating temperatures up to 90°C, and instantaneous heat resistance temperatures can reach 250°C. In addition, XLPE has excellent anti-aging, chemical corrosion resistance, and moisture resistance, which extends the service life of the cable.

What is the role of steel tape armor in the cable?

Steel tape armor provides additional mechanical protection to prevent the cable from being damaged by external mechanical damage during transportation, installation, or use. This armor design makes the cable particularly suitable for laying in environments where it may be subject to impact, pressure, or external damage, such as underground or inside walls.

What is the role of the PVC sheath?

The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sheath provides outer protection for the cable and has good wear resistance, moisture resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. It helps the cable resist moisture, acid and alkali and other corrosive substances in harsh environments, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the cable.

What are the advantages of aluminum core cable compared with copper core cable?

Aluminum core cable has the following advantages over copper core cable:

Lighter weight: The density of aluminum is about one-third of that of copper, which reduces the overall weight of the cable and facilitates installation and transportation.

Lower cost: The cost of aluminum is low, which can effectively reduce the project budget.

Better conductivity: Although the conductivity of aluminum is not as good as copper, the same current carrying capacity can be achieved through proper design. Aluminum core cable is very suitable for use in scenarios that do not require extremely high conductivity but have requirements for cost and weight.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

Yes, this cable can be used outdoors. Because its PVC sheath is waterproof and moisture-proof, and the steel belt armor provides good mechanical protection, it is very suitable for outdoor environments, including direct underground laying or exposure to severe weather.

What are the standards and certifications for the cable?

This cable usually complies with international and domestic cable standards such as IEC, GB/T, etc., depending on the manufacturer. In addition, it may also comply with ISO quality management system certification, etc. It is recommended to check whether the cable meets the standards and requirements of your country or region before purchasing.

What are the operating voltage and operating temperature of the cable?

This aluminum core XLPE insulated cable usually supports medium and high voltage power transmission, and the common rated voltage range is 1kV to 35kV. The operating temperature range is usually -15℃ to 90℃, and it can operate normally in hot or cold environments.

What should be paid attention to during installation?

During installation, care should be taken to avoid excessive bending and maintain a suitable bending radius to prevent damage to the internal structure of the cable. In addition, try to avoid external impact or scratches on the cable, and follow the relevant cable laying specifications to ensure safe and stable operation of the cable.

What is the service life of this cable?

Under normal operating conditions, the service life of this cable can reach more than 30 years. Its high temperature resistant and anti-aging XLPE insulation material and PVC sheath design with excellent protective performance greatly extend the service life of the cable. However, the actual service life also depends on the specific use environment and maintenance conditions.
