Choosing between XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) cables often depends on the application and environmental factors. Both materials are widely used in wire insulation and jacketing, but they differ significantly in properties and performance. As a purchaser, we need to know the differences between various materials to help us better choose the right cable.
● Thermal Resistance
XLPE: Offers superior thermal resistance, withstanding temperatures up to 90°C continuously and 250°C in short circuits.
PVC: Suitable for lower temperatures, typically up to 70°C for continuous operation.
●Electrical Properties
XLPE: Exhibits excellent dielectric strength, making it ideal for high-voltage applications.
PVC: While effective for low- and medium-voltage applications, its dielectric properties are not as robust as XLPE.
●Mechanical Durability
XLPE: High resistance to abrasion and impact, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
PVC: More flexible, which is advantageous for installations requiring tight bends or frequent movement.
●Environmental Impact
XLPE: Free of halogens, making it eco-friendly during combustion.
PVC: Emits toxic halogens and dense smoke in fires, posing safety risks.
●Applications
XLPE: Commonly used in power transmission, industrial installations, and high-voltage networks.
PVC: Ideal for household wiring, automotive wiring, and general-purpose cables.
