FR-N30XA8E-R 18/30(36)kV Cable Gen to NF C 33-226 - Cu/XLPE/MDPE
Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

XLPE insulation compounds undergo comprehensive physical and electrical testing. Tests include melt flow index, density measurement, thermal aging resistance, and dielectric strength verification. High-temperature aging simulations are performed to ensure insulation stability under continuous operating conditions. Contamination control inspections are conducted to prevent insulation defects that could affect cable reliability. MDPE sheath materials are tested for tensile strength, elongation at break, shrinkage, and resistance to environmental stress cracking. Additional tests assess moisture resistance and UV stability to ensure reliable performance in underground and outdoor environments. Each batch of raw materials used for FR-N30XA8E-R 18/30kV Cable is fully traceable through material identification, inspection records, and certificates of conformity. 

Process inspection

Process inspection

XLPE insulation extrusion is strictly controlled by monitoring extrusion temperature, pressure, line speed, insulation thickness, and concentricity. Online spark testing is applied to detect insulation defects in real time. Samples are taken at defined intervals for hot set testing, elongation testing, and cross-linking degree verification to confirm insulation quality. The cabling stage focuses on correct lay length, phase identification, and mechanical stability of the triplex structure. Alignment and bonding between cores are inspected to ensure structural integrity. MDPE sheathing inspection includes sheath thickness measurement, surface smoothness evaluation, and adhesion testing. Automated diameter monitoring systems provide continuous feedback, ensuring consistent sheath quality. All inspection data are recorded and reviewed to guarantee that FR-N30XA8E-R 18/30kV Cable meets NF C 33-226 requirements throughout production.

Finished Product

Finished Product

Finished Product Testing verifies that FR-N30XA8E-R 18/30kV Cable fully complies with NF C 33-226 before delivery. Mechanical testing evaluates tensile strength, elongation, bending performance, and impact resistance. Environmental tests such as thermal cycling, heat aging, and water penetration simulate long-term operating conditions to verify durability. Dimensional verification confirms conductor size, insulation thickness, and sheath thickness are within specified tolerances. Visual inspection checks sheath surface quality, marking accuracy, and overall workmanship. All test results are compiled into final inspection reports and certificates of conformity. Only cables that pass all finished product tests are approved for shipment, ensuring reliable field performance of FR-N30XA8E-R 18/30kV Cable.

Application

FR-N30XA8E-R 18/30kV Cable is widely used in medium-voltage power distribution networks, including substations, industrial plants, renewable energy facilities, and underground utility systems requiring compliance with NF C 33-226.

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.
