XLPE Cables
The XLPE insulated heavy duty cables were introduced worldwide in mid sixties. These
cables have overcome the limitations of PVC Insulated Cables such as thermal degradation,
poor moisture resistant and thermoplastic in nature.
The advantages of XLPE Insulated cables in comparison to PVC insulated cables are as
under:
A. Technical Advantages :

1. Higher current rating, higher Short Circuit Rating Approx 1.2 times that of PVC.
2. Thermosetting in nature.
3. Higher insulation resistance 1000 times more than PVC cables.
4. Higher resistance to moisture.
5. Better Resistance to surge currents.
6. Low Dielectric Losses.
7. Better resistance to chemicals.
8. Longer service life.
9. Comparatively higher cable operation temperature 90C and

short circuit temperature 250C.
B. Commercial Advantages:

1. Lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and lighter
weight*.
2. Lower installation charges as the diameter of cable is comparatively lesser with

smaller bending radius, requiring less space requirement for laying of cables.
3. **One size lower cable can be used as compared to PVC insulated cable.
* Density of XLPE is lower than PVC

**For longer cable length voltage drop shall be considered
Polycab Cable of 33KV E 3 x 400 Sq.mm have been successfully type tested at
KEMA - Netherland (an internationally acclaimed Testing Laboratory).
BASEC CERTIFICATION OF OUR BUSINESS DEMONSTRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO NOT
ONLY THE QUALITY OF OUR PRODUCTS, BUT ALSO THE LEVEL OF OUR COMMITMENT
FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Advantages of Polycab XLPE Cables
Higher Electrical Strength Retention

Higher Short Circuit Rating
Better Electrical, Mechanical &
Thermal Properties
Easy Jointing & Termination
Selection of Cables
Power Cables are generally selected considering the application. However, following
factors are important for selection of suitable cable construction required to transport
electrical energy from one end to the other.
1) Maximum operating voltage,
2) Fault Level,
3) Load to be carried,
4) Possible overloading duration & magnitude,
5) Route length and voltage drop.
6) Mode of installation considering installation environment such as ambient & ground
temperature chemical & physical properties of soil.
7) Flame retardant properties.
All sizes of POLYCAB XLPE cables are designed to standard operating conditions in India and
abroad. The standards adopted are considering the geographical/ climatical conditions
and general applications of power for utilities, distribution and generation purposes.
The cables are manufactured conforming to Indian & International cables specifications
for XLPE Insulated cables. Customer specific requirements can also be met.

POLYCAB RECOMDATIONS FOR CURRENT RATINGS

1. The values given in the table are valid for on circuit in a three phase system under conditions specified. For grouping
cables rating factors must be used.
2. The current carrying capacities mentioned in POLYCAB technical data are intended as a guide, to assist operating
engineers in selecting cables for safety and reliability.
3. Basic assumptions and condition of installation:
*
Ambient ground Temperature : 30 C
*
Ambient air Temperature: 40 C
*
Depth of Cable Burial : 1.0 m
*
Thermal resistivity of soil : 150 C. Cm/W
4. Single Core Cables are installed as indicated in the table, spacing between cables in flat formation is as indicated.
5. For 3 and 4 core cables, it is usual to assume the same current carrying capacity for 4 core cables as for 3 core cables.
Our calculated values are based actually on 3 core cables. These values are suitable with enough accuracy also for 4
cables in most cases. Only for large 4 core cables in air the values are too conservative, due to the large cable surface
and consequent high heat dissipation factor.
6. To obtain the maximum current carrying capacity of a cable operating at different conditions from the standard.
Various rating factors are to be multiplied as follows:

Ia = K Is (in Amperes)
Where
Ia = Current Rating at actual Operating Conditions (amperes)
Is = Current Rating at Standard Operating Conditions (amperes)
K = Rating Factor as applicable

Handling, Storage and Laying of Polycab Cables

A . CA BLE INS PECT ION
Inspect every cable reel for damage before
accepting the shipment.Be particularly
alert for cable damage if:
1. A reel is lying flat on its side
2. Several reels are stacked
3. Other freight is stacked on a reel
4. Nails have been driven into reel flanges
to secure shipping blocks
5. A reel flange is damaged
6. A cable covering is removed, stained or
damaged
7. A cable end seal is removed or
damaged. A reel has been dropped
(hidden damage likely)
Dos
B. CAB LE HANDLING &

STORAGE
Damage to cables can occur due to the
incorrect handling to which the drums
and cables may be subjected; causing
breakdown of the drum flanges and in
exceptional cases, movement of the drum
barrel takes place. Once this breakdown of
the drum occurs, the cable is immediately
exposed to damage. Cables damaged during
handling & storage can cause service
failures when the subject cable is put to
use.
Thus the following is a list of Dos and
Donts that should be followed while
handling and storing the cables before it
is put to use.
Donts
When off loading reels from a truck, lower

reels carefully using a hydraulic gate, hoist
or forklift truck
Never drop reels. If reels must be rolled, roll in

opposite direction of the cable wraps to keep
cable from loosening on the reel.
If a fork lift is used, approach the reel from

the flange side. Position the forks such that
the reel is lifted by both reel flanges. Also
Consideration should be given to, Traffic
patterns during off-loading & damage during the time in storage
Do not allow the lift forks to contact the cable.

Care must be taken by the fork lift operator not
to make sudden turns or stops.
Cable reels should be stored on hard surfaces resting on the flanges edge (flanges
vertical). Align reels flange to flange and,
if possible, arrange so that first in is first
out.
Multiple reels stacked on top of each other

(Pancake storage) is not recommended for
cable drums. The weight of the stack can total
thousands of kgs. creating an enormous load on
the bottom reel. Also, damage to the reel and/
or cable will likely occur when the reel is flipped
for transit. A concentration of stress on the reel
flange may cause it to break and subsequently
damage the cable.
When using a hoist, install a mandrel

through the reel arbor holes and attach a
sling. Use a spreader bar approximately 6
inches longer than the overall reel width
placed between the sling ends just above
the reel flanges.
This may lead to the bending of the reel flanges

and mashing the cable
23
Handling, Storage and Laying of Polycab Cables

C. PR E - INS TALLAT ION
To ensure safety during cable installation,
following shall be checked prior to
installation.
1. The cable selected is proper for
designed application.
2. The cable has not been damaged in
transit or storage.
Review all applicable state and national
codes to verify that the cable chosen
is appropriate for the job. Also consult
your local electricity authority. Next, you
must identify any existing cable damage
and prevent any further damaged from
occurring. This is done through proper
cable inspection, handling and storage.
D. INSTALLATION & LAYING

Mechanical stresses during installation
are generally more severe than those
encountered while in service. Thus care
should be taken as regards to the following
while installation and laying of cables.
1. Polycab recommend the laying and
installation of cables as per IS:
1255/84.
2. Care shall be taken during laying to
avoid sharp bending, and twisting.
3. Cable shall be un wound from the drum
by lifting the drum on the center
4. Shaft supported both ends with
suitablejacks / stands.
5. Under no circumstances the cable

winding shall be lifted off a coil or drum
lying flat at the flanges. This would
cause serious twist and damages.
6. Suitable protection shall be provided
to the cables against mechanical
damages, it includes covers, pipes etc.
