Conductor: High-purity aluminum (99.5%+) with a minimum conductivity of 61% IACS. Stranded construction (class 2 or 5) enhances flexibility, making the cable suitable for both fixed and semi-flexible applications. Aluminum’s low density reduces installation stress compared to copper, ideal for long-span or overhead use.
Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) undergoes radiation or chemical cross-linking, creating a three-dimensional molecular structure. This imparts thermal stability, Chemical Resistance, and low dielectric loss—critical for maintaining efficiency at 35kV.
Screen: Concentric copper tape or aluminum wire screen. Copper offers superior conductivity for electric field control, while aluminum provides a cost-effective alternative with comparable performance. The screen is bonded to the insulation to prevent partial discharges.
Sheath: PE or PVC. PE is preferred for outdoor or underground use due to its moisture resistance and UV stability; PVC is chosen for indoor applications requiring flame retardancy. Both materials resist abrasion and corrosion, extending cable life.
Conductor Stranding: Aluminum rods are drawn into wires, then stranded using a planetary stranding machine. Stranding patterns (e.g., concentric layers) optimize flexibility and current distribution.
XLPE Insulation Extrusion: The conductor is passed through an extrusion line where molten XLPE is applied. Precision dies control insulation thickness, ensuring uniformity. Cross-linking follows—either via electron beam radiation (for faster processing) or chemical curing in a vulcanization tube (for large-scale production).
Screen Application: A copper tape is helically wrapped around the insulation, or Aluminum Wires are concentrically applied. The screen is grounded to dissipate fault currents.
Sheath Extrusion: PE or PVC is extruded over the screen using a tandem extrusion line. The sheath is cooled in a water bath and tested for thickness and adhesion.
Quality Testing: Each cable undergoes partial discharge testing (≤10pC at 1.73× rated voltage), AC voltage withstand tests (30 minutes at 70kV), and insulation resistance measurements (≥10,000MΩ). Mechanical tests (tensile strength, elongation) ensure sheath and insulation durability.
Reels: Steel or wooden reels with flanges sized to the cable diameter. Reels for 50–120mm² cables have 1.2m flanges; larger sizes use 1.5–2.0m flanges. Reels are labeled with specifications (voltage, conductor size, length) and compliance marks (IEC, CE).
Protection: Cable ends are sealed with heat-shrink caps to prevent moisture ingress. Reels are wrapped in waterproof plastic film, and wooden reels are treated to meet ISPM 15 standards for international shipping.
Palletization: Smaller reels (≤500m) are palletized and secured with steel straps. Large reels may be shipped individually in containers, braced to prevent movement.
Domestic Transport: Flatbed trucks with reel stands. Cables are secured with chains and chocks to prevent rolling. Temperature-controlled trucks are used for sensitive XLPE insulation in extreme climates.
International Shipping: Containerized sea freight for bulk orders. Reels are loaded using cranes, with dunnage bags filling gaps to avoid shifting. Air freight is available for urgent, small-volume orders, using lightweight crates.
Handling: Forklifts or cranes with reel hooks are used, avoiding bending beyond the minimum radius. Drivers receive training to prevent abrupt stops or impacts.
Lead Times: 2–4 weeks for standard sizes; 6–8 weeks for custom orders (e.g., armored variants). Manufacturers maintain stock of popular sizes (120mm², 185mm²) for quick dispatch.
Tracking: Customers receive a unique tracking number via email, allowing real-time monitoring through the logistics provider’s portal. Updates include departure, transit milestones, and estimated delivery.
Receipt Inspection: Upon delivery, customers verify reel condition, cable length, and end seals. Damaged shipments are documented with photos, and replacements are arranged within 48 hours.
Sample Details: 1–3m lengths of the requested conductor size, including all layers (conductor, insulation, screen, sheath). Samples are labeled with batch numbers for traceability.
Request Process: Customers submit requests via email or the manufacturer’s website, specifying size and quantity. Samples are free for qualified buyers, with shipping costs waived for bulk order commitments.
Delivery: Shipped via express courier (DHL, FedEx) within 3–5 business days. Samples are packaged in rigid tubes to prevent bending.
Technical Assistance: Engineers provide installation guides, termination recommendations, and on-site training. They assist with fault diagnosis (e.g., using partial discharge detectors) and recommend repairs.
Warranty: 15-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Claims are processed within 5 business days, with replacements or refunds issued based on inspection results.
Maintenance: Optional annual check-ups, including insulation resistance testing and sheath integrity checks. Manufacturers offer replacement parts (e.g., screen connectors, heat-shrink kits) at discounted rates.
Feedback: A dedicated portal allows customers to report issues or suggest improvements, with responses within 24 hours. This input informs product upgrades, such as enhanced sheath UV resistance for tropical markets.
