Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing forms the foundation of quality assurance for the XLPE-HDPE Tree Cable Aluminum 25kV 1×150mm². The aluminum conductor is tested for electrical conductivity, DC resistance, tensile strength, elongation, and strand uniformity to guarantee reliable current transmission and mechanical performance. XLPE insulation compounds are tested for dielectric strength, volume resistivity, thermal aging resistance, tensile strength, and elongation after aging. These tests verify insulation stability under medium-voltage electrical stress and continuous operating temperatures. HDPE outer sheath materials undergo mechanical and environmental testing, including tensile strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, environmental stress crack resistance, UV resistance, and weathering performance. These properties are critical for overhead installations exposed to sunlight, wind, and temperature variations.
Process inspection
Process inspection ensures stable and consistent manufacturing of the XLPE-HDPE Tree Cable Aluminum 25kV 1×150mm² at every production stage. During conductor stranding, inspections confirm strand construction, conductor diameter, surface cleanliness, and concentricity. During XLPE insulation extrusion, key parameters such as extrusion temperature, pressure, and line speed are continuously monitored. Insulation thickness, eccentricity, and surface smoothness are measured to ensure uniform electrical performance. HDPE sheath extrusion is carefully inspected for thickness uniformity, adhesion to the XLPE layer, and surface quality. Spark testing is performed to detect insulation defects during production.
Finished Product
Finished product testing verifies the safety and performance of the XLPE-HDPE Tree Cable Aluminum 25kV 1×150mm² before shipment. Electrical tests include conductor resistance measurement and AC voltage withstand testing to confirm insulation integrity. Mechanical tests assess tensile strength, bending behavior, and impact resistance to ensure reliability during installation and operation. Thermal aging tests confirm insulation stability under long-term operating conditions. Dimensional inspections verify conductor cross-section, insulation thickness, and overall cable diameter. Final visual inspection ensures smooth surface finish, correct marking, and defect-free construction. Only cables that pass all finished product tests are approved for delivery.

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.
