Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw Material Test is the critical first step in manufacturing the PLTC Shielded Instrumentation Cable. Incoming copper rods undergo detailed chemical composition analysis to ensure high purity and conductivity. Mechanical testing verifies tensile strength and elongation for flexible conductors. PVC insulation and jacket compounds are rigorously tested for thermal stability, flame retardancy, insulation resistance, and mechanical properties. Aluminum foil and drain wire materials are inspected for shielding effectiveness and conductivity. Surface quality inspection and dimensional checks detect any defects or inconsistencies in raw materials. Only materials that fully pass every stringent criterion are approved for wire drawing, stranding, and extrusion in the production of the PLTC Shielded Instrumentation Cable. This thorough incoming inspection guarantees consistent electrical performance, mechanical strength, EMI shielding effectiveness, and compliance with UL 13 standards for power-limited tray cable applications.
Process inspection
Process Inspection during manufacturing of the PLTC Shielded Instrumentation Cable maintains tight control at every stage. After drawing copper wires to precise diameters, continuous monitoring verifies dimensional tolerances and surface quality. Twisting of pairs or triads uses real-time tension control to ensure uniform lay. Insulation extrusion is controlled for consistent thickness. Aluminum foil shielding application is carefully monitored for proper overlap and drain wire placement. Final jacket extrusion ensures proper thickness and strong adhesion. Online diameter measurement systems and frequent visual checks prevent defects. Key process parameters including temperature and speed are strictly logged. Mid-process sampling includes partial electrical and mechanical tests. Any deviation triggers immediate corrective action. These rigorous in-process controls safeguard the structural integrity, electrical properties, and shielding performance of the PLTC Shielded Instrumentation Cable.
Finished Product
Finished Product testing ensures every reel of PLTC Shielded Instrumentation Cable meets the highest quality standards. Comprehensive dimensional verification confirms overall diameter, insulation thickness, and jacket uniformity. High-voltage, insulation resistance, and conductor resistance tests validate electrical performance. Shielding effectiveness and crosstalk tests confirm EMI protection. Mechanical tests assess flexibility and tensile strength. Flame retardancy tests (FT4) are performed. Full visual and tactile inspections check for surface defects or shielding irregularities. All examinations follow UL 13 and NEC standards with detailed records for full traceability. Packaging and marking accuracy are also verified. Only the PLTC Shielded Instrumentation Cable that successfully passes 100% of these final inspections receives approval for shipment. This rigorous final quality gate assures customers of reliable, safe, and high-performance shielded instrumentation tray cables.

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.
