RHZ1-OL-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable(8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV)
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing for the RHZ1-OL-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV) ensures fire-safe quality. Aluminium conductors are inspected for purity, conductivity, and mechanical properties per UNE/IEC standards. XLPE insulation compound undergoes density, antioxidant content, and crosslinking analysis via OIT and DSC tests. Screen materials are checked for thickness and adhesion. LSZH sheath compound is rigorously tested for halogen content (<0.5%), smoke density, acidity, and flame-retardant additives using IEC 60754 and EN 50399 methods. Samples endure tensile strength, elongation, and accelerated aging/thermal trials. The step-by-step process: incoming batch certification, sampling protocol, chemical composition spectroscopy, mechanical/electrical property testing (before/after aging), fire performance pre-simulation, and material approval decision.
Process inspection
During the manufacturing of the RHZ1-OL-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV), process inspection maintains fire safety consistency. Aluminium stranding is monitored for compactness with laser gauges. Triple extrusion (conductor shield, XLPE insulation, insulation shield) ensures concentricity and thickness using online X-ray systems. The screen application verifies overlap and bonding. LSZH sheath extrusion includes real-time spark testing and diameter verification. Marking permanence and sheath color are inspected. Key steps: material pre-drying confirmation, extrusion/screening parameter logging (temperature, pressure), intermediate hot set tests for crosslinking degree, partial discharge monitoring, flame-retardant additive distribution checks, defect detection/correction, and post-process cooling control.
Finished Product
The finished RHZ1-OL-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV) undergoes comprehensive testing for fire and electrical certification. Routine tests include conductor resistance, AC high voltage withstand (up to 3.5U0), partial discharge (≤5pC), screen continuity, and thickness verification. Fire safety tests cover smoke density (IEC 61034), halogen acid gas (IEC 60754), flame propagation (IEC 60332), and heat release. Type tests include impulse withstand and thermal cycling. The process steps: sample preparation with terminations, gradual voltage ramp-up, PD monitoring, fire chamber exposure with smoke/heat measurement, environmental conditioning, post-test electrical/mechanical re-measurement, and visual inspection. Additional checks cover tan delta, capacitance, and marking durability.
Application
RHZ1-OL-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV) is ideal for underground and indoor medium voltage supply in hospitals, schools, airports, tunnels, shopping malls, and high-rise buildings.
