Quality Control
6 Minex Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing is the first critical quality control step for the 6 Minex Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable. All aluminum rods are inspected upon receipt to verify chemical composition and purity. Spectrometric analysis ensures the aluminum meets required standards for conductivity and corrosion resistance, while electrical conductivity tests confirm efficient current transmission capability. Mechanical testing is performed to evaluate tensile strength and elongation, ensuring the aluminum conductor can withstand stranding, cabling, and installation stresses. Surface inspections check for cracks, oxidation, inclusions, or contamination that could affect conductor integrity. Only aluminum materials that fully meet specifications are approved for use in the 6 Minex Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable.
Process inspection
Process inspection ensures consistent manufacturing quality of the 6 Minex Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable at every production stage. During conductor stranding, inspections focus on strand count, lay length, conductor diameter, and compactness to ensure uniform current distribution and mechanical stability. During insulation extrusion, online monitoring systems continuously measure insulation thickness and concentricity. Spark testing is applied throughout extrusion to detect pinholes or insulation defects in real time. Extrusion temperature, pressure, and line speed are carefully controlled to maintain insulation quality for the 6 Minex Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable.
Finished Product
Finished product testing validates the final quality of the 6 Minex Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable before shipment. Electrical resistance testing confirms conductor performance and compliance with standard resistance values. High-voltage withstand testing verifies insulation integrity under specified electrical stress. Mechanical testing evaluates tensile strength, elongation, and adhesion between conductor and insulation to ensure the cable can withstand installation and service loads. Dimensional inspections measure conductor size, insulation thickness, and overall cable geometry to ensure conformity with design requirements.
