High ampacity XLPE cables (105°C)
High-ampacity XLPE cable rated for 105C continuous operation.
Description
OverviewApplication 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.
A higher continuous conductor temperature allows more current through the same cross-section, increasing circuit capacity without increasing cable size - useful where ducts and routes are already full.
