64/110kV XLPE insulated Copper wire shielded HDPE sheathed cable

Both types of cables are crucial in enhancing the likelihood of escape and survival in the event of a fire and are often confused with one another. However, there is a fundamental distinction between flame retardant cables and fire resistant cables. Flame retardant cables are engineered to inhibit the spread of fire to adjacent areas. On the other hand, fire resistant cables are specifically designed to preserve circuit integrity and ensure functionality during a fire, under specified conditions, aiding both evacuees and firefighters.

The weight limit for a wooden drum or steel wooden is 5,000 kg, and for a steel drum, it is 10,000 kg.

High-temperature resistant cables are engineered to function within a wide temperature range, spanning from -50°C to +260°C, depending on the cable's specific type and construction. Silicone rubber-insulated cables can withstand temperatures up to 180°C, whereas fluoroplastic insulated cables are designed to endure temperatures as high as 200°C to 260°C over extended periods. They are widely used in steel metallurgy, power, petrochemicals, aerospace, and industrial kilns for power transmission and equipment control in high-heat environments.

A longitudinally water blocking cable is designed with a barrier to prevent the spread of moisture along its length. Longitudinal water blocking stops water from migrating along the cable's core, typically between the conductor strands, insulation layers, or metallic screens. Lateral water blocking ensures that water cannot penetrate the cable in the event that the sheathing is pierced or damaged. Radial water blocking prevents water from penetrating the cable's outer sheath or insulation layers, thereby stopping it from entering the cable structure entirely. Longitudinal water blocking can be achieved through various methods, including the application of water-blocking tapes and powders. These are frequently located on either side of a metallic screen and conductor. Lateral water blocking is typically accomplished by applying a layer of aluminum/polyester tape to the underside of the outer sheath.

Medium and high voltage power cables, typically those in circuits exceeding 2kV, usually feature a shield layer made of copper or aluminum tape. Similar to their use in low voltage cables, metallic wires and tapes are employed to prevent electromagnetic interference. These shields effectively neutralize or significantly diminish the field currents surrounding the conductor or core. The capacitive and inductive charging currents induced under normal operating conditions are subsequently grounded by the metallic screen.
