High Ampacity XLPE Cables with 105 Degree C Operating Temperature
LV and MV XLPE Cables for High Ambient Temperature Zones
XLPE Cable Solutions for Higher Current Carrying Capacity
APAR offers XLPE Cables in LV (up to 1100 V) and medium voltage (3.3 up to 33 kV), with XLPE insulation suitable for maximum continuous operating temperatures of 105°C, instead of conventional maximum operating temperatures of 90°C. As a result, these cables can carry up to 15% more current.
| Application | Ideal for use in high ambient temperature zones like northern India, where summer temperatures go up to 50°C. They are also used in Middle Eastern countries where summer temperatures go as high as 55°C. |
|---|---|
| Characteristics | XLPE insulation is suitable for maximum continuous operating temperatures of 105°C instead of the conventional XLPE, with maximum operating temperatures of 90°C. Thus these cables can carry up to 15% more current. |
| Applicable standards | All applicable standards |
| Product range | Full range of LV and MV cables |
| Advantages | Due to high ambient temperatures, the cables’ current-carrying capacity is de-rated. By using these cables one can avoid using higher cross sections of conductors, thereby reducing cost. |
