4 Spaniel Aluminum Conductor Duplex Overhead Service Drop Cable
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing for the 4 Spaniel Duplex Service Drop Cable starts with aluminum certification for electrical grade and mechanical specifications. Conductor wires face resistivity, elongation, and bend tests. Insulation/sheath compounds undergo viscosity, thermal stability, and migration analysis. Carbon black is quantified for UV protection. The structured process: receipt documentation review, random sampling, physical/mechanical testing (tensile, elongation), chemical verification using spectroscopy, accelerated aging/UV trials, and material release decision. This ensures defect-free inputs, providing the base for the 4 Spaniel Duplex Service Drop Cable's conductivity, insulation quality, weather performance, and environmental resistance in overhead duplex applications.
Process inspection
Process inspection during 4 Spaniel Duplex Service Drop Cable production involves multi-point quality assurance. Aluminum conductor forming monitors strand uniformity and surface smoothness. Insulation extrusion ensures adhesion with thickness gauges. Duplex assembly stages check twisting, positioning, and tension. Online spark testing and eccentricity measurement are performed. Critical steps: pre-extrusion compound verification, parameter stabilization, real-time dimension scanning, sampling for uniformity, and defect removal protocols. This multi-stage control maintains the 4 Spaniel Duplex Service Drop Cable's structural precision, reliable insulation, strong duplex bonding, and ASTM/ICEA compliance throughout manufacturing.
Finished Product
Completed 4 Spaniel Duplex Service Drop Cable reels face rigorous tests. Key routines: DC resistance, high-potential AC test, thickness checks, and continuity verification. Mechanical endurance via impact, crushing, and pulling tests. Flame propagation and heat shock evaluations follow. The sequential process: conditioning, load/voltage application, timed exposure monitoring, recovery inspection, property re-measurement, and documentation. Additional checks cover ovality and weight. Passing all confirms the 4 Spaniel Duplex Service Drop Cable's mechanical strength, electrical reliability, moisture protection, and suitability for overhead duplex service drops in demanding conditions.
Application
Excellent for overhead duplex connections in new housing projects, renovations, and agricultural buildings. Commonly used for single-phase service from poles to weatherheads requiring lightweight, durable aluminum cables with good weather and mechanical resistance.
