Improved Productivity for Power Cable Manufacture
2006
Recently the available manufacturing technologies employed for XLPE Power Cables have been upgraded
to enhance the productivity and performance of XLPE cables
The analysis shows that it is practically possible to reduce the effect of all of today’s constraints to
productivity. Within the manufacture of the cable cores this means that extra conductor heating and
insulations with increased reactivity, together with improved cooling, bring increases in the range of 20-
30%. At the highest voltages it is possible to safely reduce the degassing requirements through the use of
materials that inherently produce less by products. All of these benefits to productivity have been shown to
be compatible with high reliability by laboratory electrical tests.
