Raw Material Test
Raw materials for 4-4-6 Periwinkle Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable undergo a thorough incoming inspection. 1. Aluminum rods (1350-H19 grade) analyzed via optical emission spectroscopy for ≥99.5% purity, impurities (Fe, Si ≤0.1%); conductivity (>61% IACS), tensile strength (>170 MPa), and elongation verified per ASTM B-233. 2. ACSR neutral messenger steel core wires tested for zinc coating thickness (Class A galvanization) and breaking strength per ASTM B-498 and B-232. 3. XLPE insulation compound checked for density, melt flow index, tensile strength (>8 MPa after aging), elongation (>200%), and carbon black content for UV protection per ASTM D-1248. 4. Visual and dimensional inspections detect surface defects or variations.
Process inspection
In-line monitoring during the manufacturing of 4-4-6 Periwinkle Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable maintains quality. 1. Stranding: Concentric stranding of #4 AWG phase conductors (7 wires) and #6 AWG ACSR neutral, checked for uniform lay length, no birdcaging, and proper tension. 2. Extrusion: XLPE insulation applied under controlled temperature/speed; online gauges confirm nominal thickness (≈0.045 inches) and concentricity, free of voids. 3. Cabling/twisting: Two insulated phases twisted around bare neutral at precise lay for balanced triplex configuration without insulation damage. 4. High-voltage spark testing scans continuously for pinholes or faults. 5. Periodic sampling evaluates conductor resistance, insulation integrity, and visual surface quality. Deviations trigger immediate line stops, adjustments, and hold procedures per ISO standards.
