The document discusses XLPE insulated power cables manufactured by Leader Cable Industry Berhad. [1] XLPE refers to cross-linked polyethylene, which is produced from polyethylene under high pressure and heat to create a cross-linked molecular structure providing strong resistance to deformation at high temperatures. [2] XLPE cables have excellent electrical and physical properties that allow them to carry large currents safely. They are also easier to install than other cable types due to their light weight and ability to bend in small radii. [3] Leader Cable uses state-of-the-art extrusion lines and a water-free vulcanization process to manufacture high quality XLPE cables to international standards. Precise temperature

WHAT IS XLPE?
XLPE is an abbreviated designation of “cross-linked polyethylene”. Polyethylene has a
linear molecular structure as shown in A. Molecules of polyethlene not chemically bonded
as shown in B are easily deformed at high temperature, while XLPE molecules bonded in a
three dimensional network as shown in C and D, have strong resistance to deformation even
at high temperature.

Cross linked polyethylene is produced from polyethylene under high pressure with
organic peroxides as additives. The application of heat and pressure is used to
effect the cross linking. This causes the individual molecular chains to link with
one another which in turn causes the material to change from a thermoplastic
to an elastic material.

An important advantage of XLPE as insulation for medium and high

voltage cables is their low dielectric loss. The dielectric loss factor is
about one decimal power lower than that of paper insulated cables and
about two decimal powers lower than that of PVC- insulated cables.
Since the dielectric constant is also more favourable, the mutual
capacitance of XLPE cables is also lower, thus reducing the charging
currents and earth-leakage currents in networks without the rigid star-
point earthing.

CHARACTERISTICS AND
ADVANTAGES OF XLPE
Excellent Electrical and Physical Properties
XLPE cable constitues the best cable for transmission and distribution lines because of its
excellent eletrical and physical properties.

Capability of Carrying Large Currents

The excellent resistance to thermal deformation and the excellent aging property
of XLPE cable permit it to carry large currents under normal (90ºC), emergency
(130ºC) or short circuit (250ºC) conditions.

Ease of Installation
XLPE cable withstands smaller radius bending and is lighter in weight,
allowing for easy and reliable installation.Furthermore, the splicing and
terminating methods for XLPE cable are simpler in comparison with other
kinds of cables.

Free from Height Limitation and Maintenance

XLPE cables can be installed anywhere without special consideration of the route
proﬁle (height limitations) since it does not contain oil and thus is free from failures due to
oil migration in oil-ﬁlled cables.

No Metallic Sheath Required

XLPE cable does not generally demand a metallic sheath. Thus it is free from the failures
peculiar to metallic-sheathed cables, such as corrosion and fatigue.

MANUFACTURING
PROCESS OF
XLPE CABLES
In the manufacture of medium and high voltage XLPE cable, our plant uses the latest
technology available in the ﬁeld by using an integrated high performance extrusion line
which consists of a triple-layer crosshead and a water-free Completely Dry Curing and
Cooling (CDCC) gas vulcanizing process. This type of extrusion line minimises the
risk of introducing external contaminants and produces high quality XLPE cable.

The conductor is paid off continuously through a metering capstan (which is

the line speed master point), a triple extruder crosshead, a vulcanizing tube,
an eccentricity monitoring unit, and haul-off caterpillars, and ﬁnally taken
up.

Using a group of three extruders, the triple crosshead allows

simoultaneous extrusion of the cable insulation and two semiconducting
screens with a high degree of smoothness and no voids or introduction of
external contaminants. Precise and stable temperature at the crosshead
are achieved by using multiple zonre temperature controls.

In the water-free CDCC gas vulcanizing process, the triple-extruded cable

core is cured in an inert pressurised gas tube and heated to the required
temperature for material cross-linking. By varying the curing temperature
and time, different cure percentages can be achieved as per customer
requirements.

The various functions

of our integrated
extrusion line such as
line speed and curing tube
temperature synchronisation
are monitored and controlled
via the process automation
computers to ensure production
of quality ramps. Calculated
ramp parameters can be preset
on the control unit and closed
circuit TV system is used to
ease the running of the lines.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN
AND PERFORMANCE OF
XLPE CABLES
The design of XLPE cables conform to international standards and are similar to those in
IEC 60502 and IEC 60840/XLPE insulated cables for medium and high voltages have, in
general, circular conductors and only single core construction is adopted for the latter.
Conductors may be of compacted stranded aluminium or stranded copper and
special care if taken to ensure a smooth proﬁle, free from sharp juts that could
damage the insulation due to high local electric stresses.

All XLPE insulated cables of Medium Voltage are supplied with extruded
cross-linked semiconducting screens to protect the main solid XLPE
insulation. The conductor screen ﬁlls the interstices between the wires
and provide a smooth circular envelope around the conductor. This
diminishes the concentration of ﬂux lines around the individual wires and
hence the electrical stress around the conductor. While the insulation
screen can be either strippable or bonded for MV cables depending
on the customer’s option, bonded screen is used exclusively for high
voltage cables.

A layer of copper wires, applied over the extruded the insulation screen, as
a metallic screen, provides an earthed envelope.The cross sectional area of
this metallic screen is determined in order to satisfy the phase to earth fault
level in the network.

PROCESS OF
XLPE CABLES
Although it has been veriﬁed that XLPE cables can be applied with a conductor temperature
of 130ºC for emergency overload conditions, it must be understood that the erecting and
laying conditions necessary to allow for those temperatures must be accurately carried
out and controlled during installation in order to restrict thermomechanical problems. To
be realistic, emergency conditions should be conﬁned to 110ºC at conductor with the
balance of 20ºC premeditated as a safety margin to cope with some concerns in the
laying conditions.

Subsequent to the constant use of XLPE for medium and high voltages for
many years in the past, our plant has extensive ﬁeld test results which
evidently witness that XLPE insulated cables are of excellent quality
particularly in respect of:

• partial discharges withstandability

• impulse test withstandability
• moisture resistance
• overload current-tests under dielectric stress and thermic cycles

7
TESTING PROCEDURES
FOR XLPE CABLES
At our plant the testing process of XLPE cables and its accessories is subjected to the
most stringent standards to ensure that our products meet the quality required for
optimum problem free performance.

In this respect our plant uses advanced state of the art testing equipment in a
strict series of test processes to achieve the exacting quality standards.

Among the main test equipment

1. Partial Discharge Test Sytem

2. Impulse Test System

3. Capacitance & Power Factor Measuring Bridge

4. A.C. High Voltage Test System

5. A.C. Long Time Test System

8
TESTING PROCEDURES
FOR XLPE CABLES
The different tests employed are listed as such:

Routine Tests
These are tests to monitor overall cable quality and function. Tests listed here include high
voltage tests, conductor resistance tests, insulation resistance tests and voltage tests on
protective sheath coverings.

Type Tests
These tests are used to calibrate and validate cable design type and they include
bending tests, thermal stability tests, impulse voltage tests, head distortion tests,
corona level tests and dielectric thermal resistance tests.

Special Tests
These tests are conducted to ensure major design changes to cables
conform to proper performance tresholds.

After Installation Tests

These tests are to determine and ensure that cables installed are in
optimum operating conditions. Conductor resistance test on the completed
circuit veriﬁcation tests of cross bonded systems and surge divertor tests
are among the running lists of such critical test requirements.

CALCULATION OF SHORT-CIRCUIT/EARTH FAULT
CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY

Adiabatic method as per IEC 60949, IEC 60986 & IEC 61443
1. Calculation of adiabatic short-circuit current

I = ε x IAD

θf + β
1n ( )
IAD = K S θi + β
t
Where,
IAD = short-circuit current calculated on an adiabatic basis (A)
ε = factor to allow for heat loss into the adjacent components. For adiabatic calculations e = 1
S = nominal cross-sectional area (mm2)
θi = Initial temperature (°C)
θf = ﬁnal temperature (°C)
t = duration of short circuit (s)
K = constant depending on the material of the current carrying component (As½/mm2),
for Cu. 226
for Al. 148
for Steel 78
for Lead 42
β = reciprocal of temperature coefﬁcient of resistance of the current carrying component at 0°C (K),
for Cu. 234.5
for Al. 228
for Steel 202
for Lead 230
