Crossed Linked Polyethylene – XLPE-best solar cable 100m
XLPE is very popular and mainly used as insulation on low-voltage power cables, but it can also be compounded as a covering on overhead bundled cables. It finds wide acceptance with DNOs, Industrial cables and also as insulation for ships and offshore installation cables, and any normally fixed wiring application where good dielectric properties are required.Because of its stable dielectric properties over a wide temperature range, XLPE is usually the insulation of choice for medium voltage, high voltage and extra high voltage cables, although in some applications, such as subsea, EPR is preferred by some customers.XLPE insulation is rated for operation at a continuous conductor temperature of 90oC; XLPE insulation itself can withstand installation at -40oC, although the sheath and coverings may restrict this to higher temperatures
