High ampacity XLPE cables (105°C)

About this product

High Ampacity XLPE Cables with 105 Degree C Operating Temperature LV and MV XLPE Cables for High Ambient Temperature Zones XLPE Cable Solutions for Higher Current Carrying Capacity APAR offers XLPE Cables in LV (up to 1100 V) and medium voltage (3.3 up to 33 kV), with XLPE insulation suitable for maximum continuous operating temperatures of 105°C, instead of conventional maximum operating temperatures of 90°C. As a result, these cables can carry up to 15% more current. Application Ideal for use in high ambient temperature zones like northern India, where summer temperatures go up to 50°C. They are also used in Middle Eastern countries where summer temperatures go as high as 55°C. Characteristics XLPE insulation is suitable for maximum continuous operating temperatures of 105°C instead of the conventional XLPE, with maximum operating temperatures of 90°C. Thus these cables can carry up to 15% more current. Applicable standards All applicable standards Product range Full range of LV and MV cables Advantages Due to high ambient temperatures, the cables’ current-carrying capacity is de-rated. By using these cables one can avoid using higher cross sections of conductors, thereby reducing cost.
