Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing is the first and most critical quality control step for the 4 Strombus Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable. All incoming aluminum rods and insulation compounds are strictly inspected before entering the production line. The aluminum used for the conductor must meet specified chemical composition requirements, ensuring high electrical conductivity and adequate tensile strength. Spectrometer analysis is performed to verify aluminum purity and to detect any trace elements that could negatively affect performance. Mechanical tests such as tensile strength and elongation are conducted on aluminum rods to confirm their ductility and resistance to breakage during stranding. Surface quality inspection ensures the aluminum rod is free from cracks, inclusions, oxidation, or contamination that could lead to conductor defects.
Process inspection
Process inspection ensures that each production stage of the 4 Strombus Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable meets defined technical and quality standards. During conductor stranding, inspections focus on strand count, lay length, compactness, and overall conductor diameter. Precision measuring tools are used to verify uniformity and roundness, ensuring optimal electrical performance and mechanical stability. During insulation extrusion, real-time monitoring systems control insulation thickness, concentricity, and surface smoothness. Any deviation from specified tolerances triggers immediate corrective action. Spark testing is continuously applied to detect pinholes or insulation defects, preventing hidden faults in the 4 Strombus Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable.
Finished Product
Finished product testing validates the overall quality and reliability of the 4 Strombus Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable before delivery. Electrical tests include conductor resistance measurement to confirm compliance with standard values and ensure efficient current transmission. High-voltage withstand tests verify insulation integrity under specified voltage stress. Mechanical testing evaluates tensile strength, elongation, and adhesion between conductor and insulation. These tests ensure the cable can withstand installation tension and long-term service conditions. Insulation thickness, concentricity, and overall cable dimensions are measured to confirm conformity with design specifications.

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.
