Industrial Machinery: Powers medium-sized motors (100–200kW), compressors, and pumps. PVC-jacketed cables suit dry factory floors; XLPE variants handle high-temperature zones (e.g., foundries).
Commercial Buildings: Feeds power to HVAC systems, elevators, and lighting in malls/hotels. PE-jacketed cables are ideal for underground ducts in parking garages.
Renewable Energy: Connects solar panel arrays (up to 50kW) to inverters. XLPE jackets withstand outdoor UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.
Infrastructure: Powers traffic signals, street lighting, and small substations. PE-jacketed cables resist soil corrosion in direct-burial installations.
Heavy Industry: Supplies large motors (200–500kW), industrial furnaces, and manufacturing lines. Copper-XLPE Cables handle high currents in steel mills and refineries.
Power Distribution: Acts as Feeder Cables in urban grids, linking substations to industrial parks. Aluminum-PE variants reduce installation costs for long-distance runs.
Renewable Energy Farms: Transmits power from wind turbines (1.5–3MW) or large solar farms to transformers. XLPE jackets endure harsh weather conditions.
Data Centers: Supports high-density server racks and backup generators. PVC-jacketed cables meet fire safety codes in enclosed spaces.
PVC: Indoor dry environments (offices, retail), where flame retardancy is critical. Avoids direct sunlight or moisture.
PE: Underground/burial applications (sewage plants, rural grids) and cold climates (-40°C), leveraging chemical and low-temperature resistance.
XLPE: High-temperature (boiler rooms, foundries) and outdoor settings (solar/wind farms), offering superior thermal and UV stability.
Copper Conductors undergo annealing at 450°C to enhance ductility, ensuring ease of stranding. Their high conductivity makes them ideal for high-efficiency, low-loss applications.
Aluminum Conductors are lighter and cheaper but require anti-oxidation treatment (e.g., tin plating) to prevent corrosion at connections.
PVC: Formulated with phthalate-free plasticizers for flexibility and antimony trioxide for flame retardancy. Black pigmentation (carbon black) improves UV resistance marginally.
PE: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) with minimal additives for purity, enhancing chemical resistance. Carbon black (2–3%) is added for UV protection in outdoor grades.
XLPE: Cross-linked via electron beam irradiation, creating a thermoset structure. This eliminates melting risks, making it suitable for high-temperature use.
Round, concentric design with a smooth outer surface for easy pulling through conduits.
Color-coding: Black (standard), with options for red/blue jackets for phase identification in three-phase systems.
Wire Drawing: Copper/aluminum rods are drawn into strands (2.2–2.8mm) using diamond dies, ensuring uniform diameter.
Annealing: Strands are heated to 450°C (copper) or 350°C (aluminum) in nitrogen to relieve stress and improve flexibility.
Stranding: Strands are twisted in planetary machines at a lay length of 16–20×conductor diameter to form 150mm² or 240mm² cores.
Insulation Extrusion:
PVC/PE: Melted at 160–180°C and extruded over conductors using cross-head dies.

PVC: Extruded at 170–190°C with flame retardants.
PE: Extruded at 180–200°C, with carbon black added for UV resistance.
XLPE: Undergoes secondary cross-linking after extrusion to ensure full molecular bonding.
Conductors: Tested for resistance, tensile strength, and strand uniformity.
Insulation/Jackets: Checked for thickness, dielectric strength (2.5kV for 5min), and flame retardancy.
Cable: Subjected to bending tests (10×diameter) and thermal cycling (-40°C to 90°C) to validate durability.
Cables are wound onto steel/plywood spools (diameter: 800mm–1200mm) with flanges to prevent damage.

Spools are wrapped in UV-resistant plastic film and labeled with 规格,length, batch number, and compliance marks (IEC, CE).
Shipped via trucks or containers. Spools are secured with steel straps to prevent rolling.
For overseas transport, climate-controlled containers protect PVC/XLPE jackets from extreme temperatures.
Stored in covered warehouses, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Spools are placed on pallets to avoid ground contact, with a maximum stacking height of 2 layers.
Free 1m samples are available for testing, including conductor analysis, insulation resistance, and flame retardancy checks.
Custom samples (e.g., colored jackets) can be provided within 7–10 days.
Warranty: 10-year warranty for XLPE/PE jackets, 5-year for PVC, covering manufacturing defects.
