Introduction

In today's rapidly advancing electrical landscape, choosing the right type of cable can significantly impact project efficiency and safety. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) cable is one of the most innovative solutions available. This blog will explain what XLPE and PE cables are, describe their differences, and outline the unique advantages of AIPU WATON's LSZH XLPE cable.

What is XLPE Cable?

XLPE cable is a specialized electrical cable featuring cross-linked polyethylene insulation known for its remarkable thermal resistance and mechanical strength. This advanced insulation enables XLPE cables to withstand higher temperatures while offering superior protection against electrical stress, chemical exposure, and moisture. As a result, XLPE cables are widely employed in power distribution systems where reliability and durability are essential.

What is PE Cable?

Are you ready for winter? When the cold weather hits, outdoor electrical systems face unique challenges. To maintain reliable power and ensure safety, selecting the right outdoor cables is critical. In this blog post, we’ll explore everything you need to know about choosing and installing cold-resistant cables for winter. We’ll also introduce you to the top cold-resistant cable options.

Key Differences Between PE and XLPE Cable

While both PE and XLPE cables are vital for electrical applications, they differ significantly in several key areas:

Insulation Properties

XLPE cables feature cross-linked insulation that provides superior thermal resistance (up to 90°C) compared to standard PE cables, making them better suited for high-temperature applications.

Durability

XLPE cables withstand harsher environmental conditions, such as chemical exposure and moisture, offering enhanced durability over PE cables.

Electrical Performance

XLPE cables display superior dielectric strength, reducing the risk of electrical failures compared to traditional PE cables.

Applications

Due to their advanced properties, XLPE cables are commonly found in power distribution networks, underground installations, and industrial applications, while PE cables excel in lower voltage and less demanding environments.

Vertical Flame Testing for Cables

Standard flame-retardant wires produce large amounts of dense smoke and release toxic gases when burned.

Low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyolefin wires produce a small amount of white smoke and do not generate harmful gases when burned.
