XLPE Cables
The XLPE insulated heavy duty cables were introduced worldwide in mid sixties. These
cables have overcome the limitations of PVC Insulated Cables such as thermal degradation,
poor moisture resistant and thermoplastic in nature.
The advantages of XLPE Insulated cables in comparison to PVC insulated cables are as
under:
A. Technical Advantages :
1. Higher current rating, higher Short Circuit Rating Approx 1.2 times that of PVC.
2. Thermosetting in nature.
3. Higher insulation resistance – 1000 times more than PVC cables.
4. Higher resistance to moisture.
5. Better Resistance to surge currents.
6. Low Dielectric Losses.
7. Better resistance to chemicals.
8. Longer service life.
9. Comparatively higher cable operation temperature 90°C and
short circuit temperature 250°C.
B. Commercial Advantages:
1. Lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and lighter
weight*.
2. Lower installation charges as the diameter of cable is comparatively lesser with
smaller bending radius, requiring less space requirement for laying of cables.
3. **One size lower cable can be used as compared to PVC insulated cable.
Polycab Cable of 33KV E 3 x 400 Sq.mm have been successfully type tested at
KEMA - Netherland (an internationally acclaimed Testing Laboratory).

Advantages of Polycab XLPE Cables
Selection of Cables
Power Cables are generally selected considering the application. However, following
factors are important for selection of suitable cable construction required to transport
electrical energy from one end to the other.
1) Maximum operating voltage,
2) Fault Level,
3) Load to be carried,
4) Possible overloading duration & magnitude,
5) Route length and voltage drop.
6) Mode of installation considering installation environment such as ambient & ground
temperature chemical & physical properties of soil.
7) Flame retardant properties.
All sizes of POLYCAB XLPE cables are designed to standard operating conditions in India and
abroad. The standards adopted are considering the geographical/ climatical conditions
and general applications of power for utilities, distribution and generation purposes.
The cables are manufactured conforming to Indian & International cables specifications
for XLPE Insulated cables. Customer specific requirements can also be met.
