Quality Control
Raw Material Test
NPC Electric conducts comprehensive Raw Material Tests for TW and TH Wires to ensure production quality from the source. Copper conductors are evaluated for electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface cleanliness. Insulation materials are tested for heat resistance, tensile strength, elongation, and aging characteristics. Only materials that pass all required tests are approved for manufacturing, ensuring NPC Electric TW and TH Wires achieve consistent electrical and mechanical performance.
Process inspection
Process Inspection is conducted throughout the manufacturing of NPC Electric TW and TH Wires to maintain consistent quality. Conductor drawing and stranding processes are monitored for dimensional accuracy and uniform structure. Insulation extrusion is inspected for thickness control, concentricity, and surface integrity. In-process checks are performed at each production stage to prevent defects and ensure compliance with applicable standards. This step-by-step inspection process guarantees stable production quality and dependable performance of TW and TH Wires.
Finished Product
Finished Product Test verifies the final quality of NPC Electric TW and TH Wires. Electrical testing includes resistance measurement, insulation integrity checks, and voltage withstand testing. Mechanical tests assess flexibility, bending performance, and overall durability. Final visual inspection confirms correct labeling and surface condition. Only products that fully meet specifications are released for shipment.

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.
