Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw Material Test for the 35 kV Concentric Neutral Power Cable involves rigorous evaluation of conductor materials and insulation compounds. Chemical analysis confirms copper or aluminum purity and alloy composition. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and hardness are tested to meet required specifications. TR-XLPE or EPR insulation compounds undergo thermal stability, dielectric strength, and tree-retardant performance testing. Semi-conducting materials and jacket compounds are evaluated for compatibility and UV resistance. Detailed surface and dimensional inspections identify any potential defects before processing. Only fully compliant raw materials are released for stranding and extrusion in the production of the 35 kV Concentric Neutral Power Cable. This comprehensive raw material validation establishes the foundation for superior electrical performance, mechanical strength, and long-term reliability in medium-voltage underground applications.
Process inspection
Process Inspection throughout manufacturing of the 35 kV Concentric Neutral Power Cable focuses on precision and consistency. Conductor stranding is monitored to achieve exact dimensions with continuous quality checks. Triple tandem extrusion of conductor shield, insulation, and insulation shield ensures clean interfaces and uniform thickness. Concentric neutral wire application uses automated tension control for even helical winding. Jacket extrusion parameters are strictly controlled for proper thickness and adhesion. Frequent in-line diameter measurements and visual inspections catch anomalies immediately. Environmental and process variables are logged to prevent contamination. Intermediate samples undergo partial discharge and electrical spot testing. Any non-conformance prompts swift corrective measures. These detailed process controls protect the integrity and performance characteristics of the 35 kV Concentric Neutral Power Cable, resulting in a uniform, high-quality medium-voltage underground cable.
Finished Product
Every completed reel of 35 kV Concentric Neutral Power Cable passes comprehensive Finished Product testing. Dimensional inspections verify overall diameter, insulation thickness, and concentric neutral coverage. DC resistance, high-voltage AC, and partial discharge tests confirm compliance with ICEA and AEIC standards. Mechanical testing validates tensile strength and elongation properties. Full visual examination ensures a smooth, defect-free surface with uniform jacket. All tests adhere strictly to applicable standards, with complete documentation and batch traceability maintained. Packaging and labeling are inspected for accuracy. Only the 35 kV Concentric Neutral Power Cable that meets every quality criterion receives final approval. This final assurance stage guarantees customers a premium concentric neutral cable with proven dielectric strength, moisture resistance, and durability for reliable medium-voltage underground distribution.

FAQ From Customers
-
What are the advantages of power cables and overhead lines?(1) Reliable operation, because it is installed in a hidden place such as underground, it is less damaged by external forces, has less chance of failure, and the power supply is safe, and it will not cause harm to people; (2) The maintenance workload is small and frequent inspections are not required; (3) No need to erect towers; (4) Help improve power factor.
-
Which aspects should be considered when choosing the cross section of a power cable?(1) The long-term allowable working current of the cable; (2) Thermal stability once short circuited; (3) The voltage drop on the line cannot exceed the allowable working range.
-
What are the measures for cable fire prevention?(1) Use flame-retardant cables; (2) Use fireproof cable tray; (3) Use fireproof paint; (4) Fire partition walls and fire baffles are installed at cable tunnels, mezzanine exits, etc.; (5) Overhead cables should avoid oil pipelines and explosion-proof doors, otherwise local pipes or heat insulation and fire prevention measures should be taken.
-
What should be paid attention to during the transportation and handling of cables?(1) During transportation, loading and unloading, cables and cable reels should not be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to push the cable reels directly from the vehicle. Generally, cables should not be transported and stored flat. (2) Before transporting or rolling the cable reel, ensure that the cable reel is firm, the cable is wound tightly, the oil pipe between the oil-filled cable and the pressure oil tank should be fixed without damage, the pressure oil tank should be firm, and the pressure indication should meet the requirements.
-
What inspections should be carried out for the acceptance of cable lines?(1) The cable specifications should meet the regulations, the arrangement should be neat, no damage, and the signs should be complete, correct and clear; (2) The fixed bending radius of the cable, the related distance and the wiring of the metal sheath of the single-core power cable should meet the requirements; (3) The cable terminal and the middle head should not leak oil, and the installation should be firm. The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable and the meter setting should meet the requirements; (4) Good grounding; (5) The color of the cable terminal is correct, and the metal parts such as the bracket are completely painted; (6) There should be no debris in the cable trench, tunnel, and bridge, and the cover should be complete.
