Advantages of PVC Cables

A non-hygroscopic insulation almost unaffected by moisture.
Non-migration of compound permitting vertical installation.
Complete protection against most forms of electrolytic and chemical corrosion.
A tough and resilient sheath with excellent fire - resisting qualities.
Good ageing characterstics.
Not affected by vibration.
A non-hygroscopic insulation almost unaffected by moisture.

Advantages of XLPE Cables

Higher Current Rating.
Higher Short Circuit Rating.
Longer Service Life.
For a short time it can withstand maximum 130oC and is favourable to endure short circuit stresses.
It is less sensitive to the setting of the network protection.
Because of the thermosetting process taking place due the effect of cross linking, the crack resistance is increased.
Due to the chemical cross-linking internal stresses are reduced. Consequently the material is less sensitive during manufacturing     process to the setting of the cooling gradient.
The thermal resistivity of cross-linked material is favourably low, compared to thermoplastic material.
The low dielectric loss is a significant advantage.
The excellent mechanical features of the insulation improves the protection against external effects.
The resistance of the XLPE to acids, alkalies is outstanding and is often compensating the adverse environmental influences.
