Characteristics of Crosslinked Polyethylene

OPGW
It is well known that polyethylene is superior in electrical characteristics and chemical resistances. But it has a defect of melting
point at the temperature of 110℃. Crosslinked polyethylene, which results from a chemical process of“Cross-linking”of the
molecular structure, has eliminated this defect of melting point. Due to its molecular structure, it has excellent ozone resistance
and outstanding heat stability and resistance. The most popular way of“Cross-linking”

Insulated Wire
process is to blend some peroxide(for example dicumyl peroxide)into polyethylene and extrude it around the conductor and heat it
to a high temperature sufficient to activate the peroxide.

Insulation Process of Gaon’s Medium Voltage Cable

Grounding Wire
1. Triple Common Extrusion Head

■Excellent smoothness in boundary between semi-con. and insulation

- Bump & Void Eliminated

Instrument Cable
- Longer life experctancy of cable

2. Eccentricity Control of Insulation Thickness

■Excellent Thickness Control by Lazer Scanner

Control Cable
- Safe and economic control of insulation thickness

3. Cleaned Raw Material by Cleaning Room

Power Cable
■10,000 Class Clean Room(within 10,000EA Particle(0.5㎛ )in inch3)
- Perfect prevention of impurities Reference

4. N2 Gas Curing System for“Cross-Linking”

■Moisture Eliminated by Nitrogen Gas Curing

Description

Conductors : The conductors shall be class 2 of plain annealed Copper or Aluminum in accordance with IEC 60228.

Conductor Screen : Conductor screen shall be a layer of extruded semi-conducting compound. A separator may be applied between
conductor and conductor screen.

Insulation : Insulation shall be crosslinked Polyethylene complying with test requirements of IEC 60502 & IEC 60811. The insulation is
extruded and dry cured to meet the requirements and/or customer specification. A high degree of concentricity is assured through the use
of x-ray monitoring device during extrusion. EPR insulation is available on request.

Insulation Screen : The insulation screen shall consist of a non metallic semi-conducting part in combination with a metallic part. The non-
metallic part shall consist of a layer of extruded semi-conducting compound. Combination of semi-conducting compound and semi-
conducting tape is available on request.

Metallic Screen : Metallic screen can be a helically applied copper tape or a number of copper wires applied with a lay or a combination of
tape and wires applied over the semi-conducting screen. The metallic screen provides the earth fault current path and it is a cross section
designed as per customer’s specification.

Laying Up : In case of multi core cables, the multi cores are laid up together with polypropylene yarn filler at the interstices between the
cores. A binder e.g. polypropylene tape is wrapped round the assembly to form a compact circular cable during this process.

Inner Covering : Inner covering shall be non-hygroscopic extruded PVC as per IEC 60502. PE, TPE, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) are
available on request.

Lead Sheath : Lead sheath shall consist of a layer of extruded lead or lead alloy E.

Separation Sheath : Separation sheath shall be non-hygroscopic extruded PVC as per IEC 60502. PE or TPE are available on request.

Armour : Armour shall be as per IEC 60502 of the following type:

a) Round Wire Armour
b) Double Tape Armour
Armour material shall be galvanized steel for multi core cables and aluminum for single core cables. This is as per IEC 60502
recommendation.

Oversheath : Oversheath shall be extruded PVC/ST1 as per IEC 60502, special type of sheathing such as Flame retardant(FR-), Anti-
termite( /AT), Anti-rodent( /AR) and Anti-vermin( /AV), etc. are avaiible on request. PE or LSZH(HF- : Halogen free Flame retardant) are
available on request

Fire proof layer : Fire proof layer shall be a mica tape between conductor and insulation if fire resistance in accordance with IEC 60331 is
required for low voltage power or control cable.
