XLPE Insulated Steel Wire Cable

The XLPE Insulated Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) Cable is a heavy-duty power transmission cable designed for medium-voltage electrical distribution networks.

Thermal Endurance: Continuous conductor operation at 90°C, emergency overload up to 130°C, and short-circuit limit at 250°C (5s max).

Direct-Burial Mechanical Strength: Galvanized Steel Wire Armor (SWA) withstands crushing forces >1,500 N/10cm and tensile pulling up to 70 N/mm².

Low Dielectric Loss: Insulation power factor (tan δ) <0.001 at 20°C reduces continuous operational energy loss across long-distance distribution lines.

Subsurface Chemical Resistance: Impermeable outer sheath prevents moisture ingress, soil corrosion, and microbial degradation in pH 4–9 environments.

Choice of ST1/ST2 PVC, ST8 LSZH (IEC 60332-3 category flame retardancy), or anti-termite/rodent additive formulations.
Optional longitudinal swelling tapes and yarns for permanently flooded duct applications.
Insulation thickness engineered for systems from 0.6/1 kV up to 18/30 kV.
Custom outer sheath coloring, sequential meter inkjet marking, and tailored cut lengths from 500m to 2,000m.

CCV Line Precision: Continuous Vulcanization lines equipped with X-ray thickness and eccentricity gauges to ensure zero internal voids.

Planetary Armoring: Controlled-tension wire stranding ensures >90% armor coverage without loose wire overlap.

Routine Testing: Every cable reel undergoes inline spark testing and AC high-voltage withstand testing before shipment.

Complete Traceability: Full Material Test Reports (MTR) compliant with EN 10204 3.1 are issued with every shipment batch.

MOQ: Base MOQ starts at 1,000 meters per conductor cross-section.

Export Packaging: Heat-treated wooden drums or steel-framed timber reels fully compliant with ISPM 15 standards.

Production Lead Time: 15 to 25 calendar days for standard specifications upon contract confirmation.

Warranty: 24-month factory warranty backed by individual drum serial number tracking and QA archives.

Global Standard Adherence: Fully compliant with IEC 60502-1, BS 5467, BS 6724, and DIN VDE 0276.

Management Certifications: Operating under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified quality and safety systems.

Scale & Capacity: 150-acre manufacturing facility with 20+ specialized extrusion and armoring lines ensuring stable lead times.
