Quality Control

Triplex URD Cable
Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test for the Triplex URD Cable involves rigorous evaluation of AA8000 aluminum alloy rods and insulation compounds. Chemical analysis confirms exact alloy composition and high purity. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and hardness are tested against ASTM B800 requirements. XLPE and polyethylene materials undergo thermal stability, dielectric strength, and moisture resistance testing. Detailed surface and dimensional inspections identify any potential defects before processing. Only fully compliant raw materials are released for wire drawing and extrusion in the production of the Triplex URD Cable. This comprehensive raw material validation establishes the foundation for superior flexibility, conductivity, mechanical strength, and long-term durability in underground triplex URD cable applications.

 

Process inspection

Process inspection

Process Inspection throughout the manufacturing of the Triplex URD Cable focuses on precision and consistency. Wire drawing is monitored to achieve exact diameters with continuous quality checks. During stranding and assembly, automated tension and revolution controls ensure a perfect triplex configuration with accurate lay lengths. XLPE insulation and polyethylene sheath extrusion parameters are strictly controlled for uniform thickness and adhesion. Frequent in-line diameter measurements and visual inspections catch anomalies immediately. Environmental and process variables are logged to prevent contamination. Intermediate samples undergo resistance and mechanical spot testing. Any non-conformance prompts swift corrective measures. These detailed process controls protect the integrity and performance characteristics of the Triplex URD Cable, resulting in a uniform, high-quality underground service cable.

 

Finished Product

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.
