2/0 Trophon Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable
Raw Material Test
Raw materials for 2/0 Trophon Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable undergo rigorous inspection. 1. Aluminum rods (1350-H19 grade) are tested for chemical composition via spectroscopy to confirm ≥99.5% purity, low impurities (Fe, Si <0.1%). Tensile strength and elongation are measured per ASTM B-233. 2. ACSR steel core wire samples check zinc coating thickness (Class A galvanization) and breaking strength per ASTM B-498. 3. XLPE insulation compound verifies density, melt flow index, tensile strength (>8 MPa), and elongation (>200%) per ASTM D-1248. 4. Carbon black content ensures UV resistance. Visual inspection detects defects; rejected batches are quarantined. Dimensional checks confirm rod diameter accuracy. All tests are documented with certificates from suppliers and in-house lab results for traceability.
Process inspection
2/0 Trophon Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable, multi-stage inspections ensure quality. 1. Stranding: Monitor concentric stranding of 7-wire phase conductors and 6/1 ACSR neutral for uniform lay length and no crossovers. 2. Insulation extrusion: Control XLPE thickness (0.060 inches nominal) via online gauges; check uniformity and absence of voids. Temperature and speed parameters are logged. 3. Twisting: Verify triplex assembly twist rate for balanced configuration without damage to insulation. 4. In-line spark testing detects insulation faults at high voltage. 5. Dimensional checks every spool for conductor diameter and overall cable OD. Operators perform visual checks for surface defects. Non-conforming products are segregated; corrective actions are implemented per ISO procedures.
Finished Product
Completed 2/0 Trophon Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable undergoes final verification. 1. Electrical: DC resistance test per ASTM B-231 (max values for 2/0 AWG); insulation resistance >1000 MΩ-km at 500V DC. 2. Voltage withstand: AC test at 3kV for 5 min with no breakdown. 3. Physical: Tensile strength and elongation of conductors/insulation per standards; insulation thickness measured microscopically. 4. Ampacity verification via calculation (approx. 230A at 90°C). 5. Visual and dimensional inspection for defects, marking accuracy (size, type, standards). 6. Sample coiling test for flexibility. All results are recorded in test reports; only compliant reels are released with certification.
