Laminate sheath power cable insulated with XLPE for flame-retardant applications

摘要

A laminate sheath with coated copper and a halogen free polyolefin jacket has been developed for low, medium and high voltage cables with insulated conductors of cross-linked polyethylene for industrial applications. A vertical tray flame test was used to evaluate flame performance and the laminate sheath cable met all requirements for propagation and low smoke. Additional benefits from use of the laminate sheath in industrial applications are chemical and moisture protection, mechanical strength and corrosion protection for the metallic shield.
