Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

Raw material testing for the PV Solar Aluminum 8000 XLPE Insulated Cable ensures compliance with TÜV and EN 50618 standards. 8000 series aluminum alloy rods are inspected for purity, conductivity, and elongation using spectrometry and tensile machines. XLPE insulation compound is rigorously evaluated for density, melt flow index, antioxidant levels, crosslinking potential, UV stabilizer content, and thermal stability using OIT and DSC analysis. Samples undergo accelerated UV aging and environmental stress cracking tests. The step-by-step process includes incoming batch verification, random sampling, chemical composition analysis via spectrometry, mechanical property testing before and after aging, UV resistance pre-checks, and final material approval decision. Only qualified materials are released, guaranteeing the PV Solar Aluminum 8000 XLPE Insulated Cable achieves excellent conductivity, insulation integrity, weather resistance, and long-term reliability in solar PV applications.

 

Process inspection

Process inspection

During manufacturing of the PV Solar Aluminum 8000 XLPE Insulated Cable, process inspection maintains strict quality control. Aluminum conductor stranding is monitored for compactness and diameter tolerance. XLPE insulation extrusion controls thickness, concentricity, and bonding with online capacitance and X-ray systems. Surface smoothness and marking permanence are inspected in real time. Key steps include material pre-drying confirmation, extrusion parameter logging (temperature, speed, tension), intermediate hot set tests for crosslinking degree, defect detection with immediate correction, and controlled cooling. This multi-stage oversight guarantees the PV Solar Aluminum 8000 XLPE Insulated Cable achieves void-free insulation, precise construction, and full TÜV/EN 50618 compliance throughout production.

 

Finished Product

Finished Product

The finished PV Solar Aluminum 8000 XLPE Insulated Cable undergoes comprehensive testing. Routine tests include conductor resistance, AC/DC voltage withstand, insulation thickness verification, and spark testing. Mechanical tests cover elongation, cold bend, and tensile strength. Weathering via UV aging, ozone resistance, and heat distortion is assessed. The process steps include sample preparation, gradual voltage ramp-up and hold period, mechanical load application, environmental conditioning (UV/heat), post-test electrical and mechanical re-measurement, and detailed visual inspection. Additional checks cover shrinkage, marking durability, and long-term aging performance. Only cables passing all criteria are approved, confirming the PV Solar Aluminum 8000 XLPE Insulated Cable’s superior electrical safety, mechanical robustness, and suitability for solar photovoltaic systems.

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.
