RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable  Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

For the RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV), raw material testing emphasizes enhanced fire performance. Aluminium is certified for electrical grade and ductility. XLPE granules are evaluated for contamination, thermal stability, and crosslinking efficiency via microscopy and TGA. Screen materials undergo resistivity and bonding checks. Enhanced LSZH compound faces advanced halogen-free verification, higher flame-retardant loading, smoke opacity, and corrosivity tests per EN standards. The structured process: receipt inspection, random sampling, physical/mechanical testing (tensile, elongation), chemical analysis with ion chromatography, accelerated aging and fire simulation trials, and release decision. This ensures premium inputs, establishing the base for the RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable's dielectric strength, screening reliability, enhanced low-emission fire safety.

Process inspection

Process inspection during RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV) production involves continuous fire-focused monitoring. Aluminium conductor forming checks uniformity and surface quality. Triple co-extrusion ensures void-free shields and insulation with real-time thickness gauges. Screen application monitors coverage and tension. Enhanced LSZH sheath extrusion includes online spark testing and ovality control. Critical steps: pre-extrusion compound dryness verification, parameter stabilization, capacitance-based eccentricity monitoring, gel fraction sampling, partial discharge intermediate checks, advanced fire-retardant additive distribution, and defect removal protocols. This multi-stage assurance maintains the RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable's precise geometry, reliable screening, uniform enhanced LSZH sheath with advanced fire behavior, and UNE/CPR compliance throughout manufacturing.

Finished Product

Completed RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable (8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV) reels are subjected to comprehensive tests. Mandatory routines: DC resistance, high-potential AC test, partial discharge (≤5pC), screen resistance, and thickness checks. Enhanced fire tests include bundled flame propagation, heat release, smoke production, and acidity measurement for advanced CPR compliance. Extended tests cover impulse and long-duration voltage. The sequential process: sample conditioning, parameter application (voltage/heat), timed fire exposure monitoring, recovery inspection, property re-measurement, and documentation. Additional verifications ensure marking permanence and flexibility. Passing all confirms the RHZ1-OL(AS)-AL Medium Voltage Power Cable's enhanced fire retardancy, low smoke zero halogen properties, electrical integrity, and suitability for critical medium voltage applications in public or confined spaces.

Application

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.
