What are the advantages of XLPE insulated wire?

According to relevant statistics, XLPE insulated wire is becoming more and more popular in the market, so why? With the vigorous investment in economic construction, the scale of the construction market is also expanding, and the relevant building codes are becoming more and more strict. Since then, XLPE insulated wire has appeared in people’s field of vision.
XLPE insulated wire uses some methods to convert thermoplastic polyethylene into thermosetting cross-linked polyethylene, which greatly improves its heat resistance and mechanical properties, reduces shrinkage, makes it no longer melt after heating, and has excellent electrical properties. performance. Of course we also have some questions.

1. What are the advantages of XLPE insulated wire?

(1) According to research, cross-linked polyethylene has excellent mechanical properties, and compared with PVC in terms of hardness, stiffness, wear resistance and impact resistance, it has been greatly improved.
(2) It has strong brain acidity and alkalinity and oil resistance. The main products are water and carbon dioxide during combustion, which will not produce toxic gas and cause little harm to the environment. It satisfies the concept of green environmental protection.
(3) The outer diameter of XLPE insulated wire is relatively small, which can reduce the diameter of the pipe used during the construction of the pipe, which greatly reduces the cost of construction and installation. At the same time, its weight is relatively light, which is convenient for transportation and greatly saves all aspects of cost.
(4) XLPE insulated wire has good insulation performance, and further increases the insulation resistance on the basis of the original, and is not greatly affected by temperature.

2. Where are XLPE insulated wire mainly used?

As long as it is suitable for power distribution networks, industrial installations or other fields that require large-capacity power consumption, it is used for power transmission and distribution, and its main function is to transmit electrical energy.
