for high voltage more than 11 KV and low current we can use XLPE cable.
The full form of XLPE is Cross-Linked Polyethylene. XLPE is a type of polyethylene in which the polymer chains are chemically linked, or cross-linked, to improve its thermal and mechanical properties. This cross-linking enhances the material's resistance to heat, pressure, and environmental stress, making it suitable for use in insulation for high-voltage cables and wires.
In the context of electrical cables, PVC and XLPE are two materials used as insulation. XLPE has got more capacity to hold on incase of high temperature. XLPE will not deteriorate it's insulating property until it reaches 90 degree celsius. It will not suddenly lose it's insulating property if the themperature jumps just above 90. But the overall life of the cable will be reduced. PVC can withstand temperatures only upto 70 degree Celsius. PVC is cheaper than XPLE, hence it's find it's place in market today. PVC is a thermo plastic where as XLPE is thermosetting plastic. PVC - Poly Vinyl chloride XLPE - Cross linked Poly Ethylene
XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) resin is a type of thermosetting polymer used in the manufacturing of electrical cables. It offers high thermal and chemical resistance, excellent electrical properties, and low water absorption. XLPE resin is commonly used in medium to high voltage power cables for transmission and distribution of electricity.
