XLPE POWER CABLES
Cross linked Polyethylene has been recognized world wide as an ideal dielectric for cable application since its commercial application in the early sixties.
XLPE insulated cables have better mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. These properties owe XLPE cables an advantage over paper insulated cables. This superior performance of XLPE cables has led to the progressive replacement of paper insulated and other dielectric cables. Today, thanks to advanced XLPE insulation, EHV cables are also available.
Paramount XLPE cables are manufactured and tested in accordance with IS:7098 (Part II) and other international standards.
Testing and Quality control
Paramount Cables assures reliable quality product through strict control at raw material stage, on-line inspection at all stages of manufacture and also testes for all cable length at finished stage.
As a rule, cables manufactured at Paramount are subjected to raw material inspection, on-line inspection, sample testes, Routine Tests, Type Tests, Acceptance Tests, Special Tests as per client's specifications are also conducted. the actual test range depends on the requirements of the relevant standards and / or client's stipulations.
