Quality Control
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing is the foundation of quality assurance for the XLPE-HDPE Tree Cable Aluminum 25kV 1×185mm². The aluminum conductor is tested for electrical conductivity, DC resistance, tensile strength, elongation, and strand uniformity to ensure reliable power transmission and mechanical durability.XLPE insulation compounds are evaluated for dielectric strength, volume resistivity, tensile strength, elongation, and thermal aging resistance. These tests confirm insulation stability under medium-voltage electrical stress and continuous operating temperatures. All incoming raw materials for the XLPE-HDPE tree cable are subject to strict inspection, full documentation, and traceability. Only materials that meet all technical and quality requirements are approved for production.
Process inspection
Process inspection ensures consistent manufacturing quality of the XLPE-HDPE Tree Cable Aluminum 25kV 1×185mm² across all production stages. During conductor stranding, inspections verify strand construction, conductor diameter, surface cleanliness, and concentricity. During XLPE insulation extrusion, critical 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 inspected for thickness uniformity, adhesion to the XLPE layer, and surface quality. Spark testing is conducted during production to detect insulation defects. All inspection results are recorded and reviewed. Any deviation from specifications triggers immediate corrective actions, ensuring stable quality of the XLPE-HDPE tree cable.
Finished Product
Finished product testing verifies the safety and performance of the XLPE-HDPE Tree Cable Aluminum 25kV 1×185mm² prior to shipment. Electrical tests include conductor resistance measurement and AC voltage withstand testing to confirm insulation integrity. Mechanical tests evaluate tensile strength, bending performance, and impact resistance to ensure reliability during installation and service. 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.
