The full form of XLPE is a combination of two terms – “Cross-Linked” and “Polyethylene”. The full form XLPE wire is therefore known by combining the two terms: A form of plastic (Polyethylene) used in manufacturing XLPE power cable, and the manufacturing process (Cross-Linked) that the XLPE cable manufacturer uses to produce the cable.
The form that XLPE cable takes is the result of the material used in its insulation. XLPE insulated cable is produced using a form of polyethene – which is a type of material in the plastic family. This form of cable is produced by cross-linking polyethene to provide XLPE wire with better heat resistance, higher corrosion resistance and greater stress resistance qualities.
Full form XLPE electrical cable is widely found in projects involving power transmission in the 600V to 154 kV ranges. You’ll also find a full form XLPE underground cable used as the insulation layer during installation of underground power lines.
