5-46kV TR-XLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Cables

5–46kV TR-XLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Power Cables are specifically designed for underground residential distribution and utility power networks. Manufactured with high-quality copper or aluminum conductors and tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene (TR-XLPE) insulation, these cables provide superior resistance to electrical treeing, moisture ingress, and long-term aging. The TR-XLPE insulation system significantly extends service life in underground installations where environmental stress and moisture exposure are common. Rated for voltage levels from 5kV to 46kV, the cable ensures stable and efficient power transmission under continuous operating conditions. Its robust construction supports direct burial or duct installation, meeting the reliability requirements of modern utility infrastructure. Designed to meet utility and industry performance expectations, TR-XLPE URD cables offer consistent electrical performance, enhanced durability, and reduced maintenance over their operational lifespan.

Quality Control

5-46kV TR-XLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Cables
5-46kV TRXLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Cables  Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

 

Raw Material Test is the initial quality assurance step for 5–46kV TR-XLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Power Cables. Conductors are tested for electrical conductivity, tensile strength, elongation, and dimensional accuracy. TR-XLPE insulation compounds undergo extensive evaluation for tree-retardant performance, thermal aging, dielectric strength, and insulation resistance. Semi-conductive shielding materials are inspected for compatibility, uniformity, and conductivity. All raw materials are verified against utility and industry technical requirements before approval for production, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent electrical performance of the finished cable.

5-46kV TRXLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Cables Process inspection

Process inspection

 

Process Inspection controls every manufacturing stage of 5–46kV TR-XLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Power Cables. Conductor stranding is monitored for uniformity and correct lay length. Insulation extrusion and cross-linking processes are carefully controlled to ensure optimal TR-XLPE properties. Semi-conductive shielding application is inspected to maintain smooth interfaces and stable electrical stress control. In-process electrical testing is conducted throughout production to detect defects early. Continuous dimensional and visual inspections ensure compliance with design specifications and utility standards.

5-46kV TRXLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Cables  Finished Product

Finished Product

 

Finished Product Test validates the safety and performance of 5–46kV TR-XLPE URD Medium Voltage Utility Power Cables before delivery. Electrical tests include conductor resistance measurement, partial discharge testing, and AC voltage withstand testing. Mechanical tests assess insulation integrity and overall construction quality. Final inspection confirms correct marking, dimensions, and workmanship. Only cables meeting all test criteria are released for shipment.

FAQ From Customers

What are the advantages of power cables and overhead lines?
(1) Reliable operation, because it is installed in a hidden place such as underground, it is less damaged by external forces, has less chance of failure, and the power supply is safe, and it will not cause harm to people;
(2) The maintenance workload is small and frequent inspections are not required;
(3) No need to erect towers;
(4) Help improve power factor.
Which aspects should be considered when choosing the cross section of a power cable?
(1) The long-term allowable working current of the cable;
(2) Thermal stability once short circuited;
(3) The voltage drop on the line cannot exceed the allowable working range.
What are the measures for cable fire prevention?
(1) Use flame-retardant cables;
(2) Use fireproof cable tray;
(3) Use fireproof paint;
(4) Fire partition walls and fire baffles are installed at cable tunnels, mezzanine exits, etc.;
(5) Overhead cables should avoid oil pipelines and explosion-proof doors, otherwise local pipes or heat insulation and fire prevention measures should be taken.
What should be paid attention to during the transportation and handling of cables?
(1) During transportation, loading and unloading, cables and cable reels should not be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to push the cable reels directly from the vehicle. Generally, cables should not be transported and stored flat.
(2) Before transporting or rolling the cable reel, ensure that the cable reel is firm, the cable is wound tightly, the oil pipe between the oil-filled cable and the pressure oil tank should be fixed without damage, the pressure oil tank should be firm, and the pressure indication should meet the requirements.
What inspections should be carried out for the acceptance of cable lines?
(1) The cable specifications should meet the regulations, the arrangement should be neat, no damage, and the signs should be complete, correct and clear;
(2) The fixed bending radius of the cable, the related distance and the wiring of the metal sheath of the single-core power cable should meet the requirements;
(3) The cable terminal and the middle head should not leak oil, and the installation should be firm. The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable and the meter setting should meet the requirements;
(4) Good grounding;
(5) The color of the cable terminal is correct, and the metal parts such as the bracket are completely painted;
(6) There should be no debris in the cable trench, tunnel, and bridge, and the cover should be complete.
