Advantages Of LT-XLPE Cables Over PVC Cables

1.) LT-XLPE cables have a higher condiuctor temperaure rating i.e., 90 deg C as against 70 deg C of PVC and hence higher current rating.
2.) LT-XLPE cables have longer life as compared to conventional PVC cables.
3.) Max. temperature limit under short circuit conditions for LT-XLPE cable is 250 deg C as against 160 deg C for PVC cables. Hence, LT-XLPE cables have higher short circuit rating.
4.) LT-XLPE cables have higher emergency overload capacity than PVC cables (upto 60%).
5.) The moisture resistance of LT-XLPE cables is nearly 100 times than that of PVC cables.
6.) Insulation resistance of LT-XLPE cables is very high compared to PVC (as high as 1000 times).
7.) LT-XLPE have high corrosion resistance in polluted atmosphere as compared to PVC cables.
8.) LT-XLPE cables have better properties of resistance to chemical and corrosive gases.
9.) LT-XLPE cables have low installation cost because of light weight, dimensions and are far more flexible.
10.) LT-XLPE cables have better properties to withstand vibrations and hot impacts.
11.) Jointing of LT-XLPE cables is earier and quicker.
12.) LT-XLPE cables are ideal for transmission and distribution of power.
