Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw Material Test for (N)TMCGEWOU 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV and 8.7/15kV Cable ensures premium components for medium-voltage durability. The rigorous process includes: Supplier Certification Review: Verify class 5 tinned copper meets DIN EN 60228/IEC 60228 for purity (>99.9% Cu), stranding, and tin coating; EPR insulation and rubber sheath compounds certified to VDE 0250-813. Conductor Analysis: Test tinned copper for tensile strength (>200 MPa), elongation (>20%), conductivity (≥97% IACS), and coating uniformity. Semi-Conductive & Insulation Testing: Semi-conductive screens checked for resistivity and adhesion; EPR insulation evaluated for tensile (>6.5 MPa), elongation (>300%), dielectric strength (>20 kV/mm), and thermal aging per IEC 60502.
Process inspection
Process Inspection during manufacturing of (N)TMCGEWOU 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV and 8.7/15kV Cable upholds precision for MV safety. Steps include:Conductor Stranding: Monitor fine class 5 stranding for uniform lay length, compactness, and flexibility.Semi-Conductive & Insulation Extrusion: Apply conductor screen, EPR insulation, and insulation screen at controlled thicknesses; inline scanners, spark testers, and eccentricity monitors detect defects.Screening Application: Braid tinned copper wires with precise coverage and tension for effective shielding.Outer Sheath Extrusion: Apply robust rubber sheath; real-time checks on thickness, surface finish, and adhesion.Continuous Monitoring: Conductor resistance, insulation integrity, screen continuity, and overall diameter monitored throughout.
Finished Product
Finished Product Test confirms the (N)TMCGEWOU 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV and 8.7/15kV Cable meets MV standards before shipment. The procedure includes: Visual & Dimensional Inspection: Examine full length for defects, uniformity, markings, and measure outer diameter/weight per meter.Electrical Tests: Conductor DC resistance, insulation resistance (>1000 MΩ·km), high-voltage withstand (e.g., 11kV/5min for 3.6/6kV, 17kV for 6/10kV, higher for 8.7/15kV), partial discharge, and screen continuity per VDE/IEC.Mechanical Evaluation: Bending radius (typically 6–8× OD), tensile strength, abrasion, and tear resistance tested.Sheath & Insulation Performance: Oil immersion, flame retardancy (IEC 60332), thermal aging, and moisture resistance verified. Thermal & Short-Circuit Validation: Confirm 90°C continuous rating and short-circuit withstand capability.

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.
