INTRODUCTION Leader Cable Industry Berhad was incorporated in 1976 as a private company prior to its merger with Universal Cable (M) Berhad in 1990 to form the single largest wire and cable manufacturer in the region. As part of Leader Universal Holdings Berhad (LEADER), a public company listed under the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Malaysia, Leader Cable shares the group’s extensive network for synergistic integration in areas of cable technology. Leader Cable, together with its subsidiary companies, cover a broad spectrum of products which includes telecommunication cables, data cables, XLPE and PVC power and cntrol cables, rubber insulated cables and electrical grade aluminium rods. Continued capital investment has enabled Leader Cable to extablish state-of-the-art facilities and utilize innovative improvements and refinements through critical selection of raw materials to produce better and more cost-effective products for its customers. With a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, Leader Cable is constantly expanding their product range to enhance its position as a major supplier of power and telecommunication cables to local industries and increase its prominence abroad.

This catalogue serves as a guide to LCIB’s manufacturing processes and standards in the manufacturing of XLPE cables.


WHAT IS XLPE? XLPE is an abbreviated designation of “cross-linked polyethylene�. Polyethylene has a linear molecular structure as shown in A. Molecules of polyethlene not chemically bonded as shown in B are easily deformed at high temperature, while XLPE molecules bonded in a three dimensional network as shown in C and D, have strong resistance to deformation even at high temperature. Cross linked polyethylene is produced from polyethylene under high pressure with organic peroxides as additives. The application of heat and pressure is used to effect the cross linking. This causes the individual molecular chains to link with one another which in turn causes the material to change from a thermoplastic to an elastic material. An important advantage of XLPE as insulation for medium and high voltage cables is their low dielectric loss. The dielectric loss factor is about one decimal power lower than that of paper insulated cables and about two decimal powers lower than that of PVC- insulated cables. Since the dielectric constant is also more favourable, the mutual

capacitance of XLPE cables is also lower, thus reducing the charging currents and earth-leakage currents in networks without the rigid starpoint earthing.

CHARACTERISTICS AND ADVANTAGES OF XLPE Excellent Electrical and Physical Properties

XLPE cable constitues the best cable for transmission and distribution lines because of its excellent eletrical and physical properties. Capability of Carrying Large Currents The excellent resistance to thermal deformation and the excellent aging property of XLPE cable permit it to carry large currents under normal (90ยบC), emergency (130ยบC) or short circuit (250ยบC) conditions.

Ease of Installation XLPE cable withstands smaller radius bending and is lighter in weight, allowing for easy and reliable installation.Furthermore, the splicing and terminating methods for XLPE cable are simpler in comparison with other kinds of cables. Free from Height Limitation and Maintenance XLPE cables can be installed anywhere without special consideration of the route profile (height limitations) since it does not contain oil and thus is free from failures due to oil migration in oil-filled cables. No Metallic Sheath Required XLPE cable does not generally demand a metallic sheath. Thus it is free from the failures peculiar to metallic-sheathed cables, such as corrosion and fatigue.


MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF XLPE CABLES In the manufacture of medium and high voltage XLPE cable, our plant uses the latest technology available in the field by using an integrated high performance extrusion line which consists of a triple-layer crosshead and a water-free Completely Dry Curing and Cooling (CDCC) gas vulcanizing process. This type of extrusion line minimises the risk of introducing external contaminants and produces high quality XLPE cable. The conductor is paid off continuously through a metering capstan (which is the line speed master point), a triple extruder crosshead, a vulcanizing tube, an eccentricity monitoring unit, and haul-off caterpillars, and finally taken up. Using a group of three extruders, the triple crosshead allows simoultaneous extrusion of the cable insulation and two semiconducting screens with a high degree of smoothness and no voids or introduction of external contaminants. Precise and stable temperature at the crosshead are achieved by using multiple zonre temperature controls. In the water-free CDCC gas vulcanizing process, the triple-extruded cable core is cured in an inert pressurised gas tube and heated to the required temperature for material cross-linking. By varying the curing temperature and time, different cure percentages can be achieved as per customer requirements. The various functions of our integrated extrusion line such as line speed and curing tube temperature synchronisation are monitored and controlled via the process automation computers to ensure production of quality ramps. Calculated ramp parameters can be preset on the control unit and closed circuit TV system is used to ease the running of the lines.


STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE OF XLPE CABLES The design of XLPE cables conform to international standards and are similar to those in IEC 60502 and IEC 60840/XLPE insulated cables for medium and high voltages have, in general, circular conductors and only single core construction is adopted for the latter. Conductors may be of compacted stranded aluminium or stranded copper and special care if taken to ensure a smooth profile, free from sharp juts that could damage the insulation due to high local electric stresses. All XLPE insulated cables of Medium Voltage are supplied with extruded cross-linked semiconducting screens to protect the main solid XLPE

insulation. The conductor screen fills the interstices between the wires and provide a smooth circular envelope around the conductor. This diminishes the concentration of flux lines around the individual wires and hence the electrical stress around the conductor. While the insulation screen can be either strippable or bonded for MV cables depending on the customer’s option, bonded screen is used exclusively for high voltage cables. A layer of copper wires, applied over the extruded the insulation screen, as a metallic screen, provides an earthed envelope.The cross sectional area of this metallic screen is determined in order to satisfy the phase to earth fault level in the network.


PROCESS OF XLPE CABLES Although it has been verified that XLPE cables can be applied with a conductor temperature of 130ºC for emergency overload conditions, it must be understood that the erecting and laying conditions necessary to allow for those temperatures must be accurately carried out and controlled during installation in order to restrict thermomechanical problems. To be realistic, emergency conditions should be confined to 110ºC at conductor with the balance of 20ºC premeditated as a safety margin to cope with some concerns in the laying conditions. Subsequent to the constant use of XLPE for medium and high voltages for many years in the past, our plant has extensive field test results which evidently witness that XLPE insulated cables are of excellent quality particularly in respect of: •

partial discharges withstandability

impulse test withstandability

moisture resistance

overload current-tests under dielectric stress and thermic cycles


TESTING PROCEDURES FOR XLPE CABLES At our plant the testing process of XLPE cables and its accessories is subjected to the most stringent standards to ensure that our products meet the quality required for optimum problem free performance. In this respect our plant uses advanced state of the art testing equipment in a strict series of test processes to achieve the exacting quality standards.

TESTING PROCEDURES FOR XLPE CABLES

The different tests employed are listed as such: Routine Tests

These are tests to monitor overall cable quality and function. Tests listed here include high voltage tests, conductor resistance tests, insulation resistance tests and voltage tests on protective sheath coverings. Type Tests These tests are used to calibrate and validate cable design type and they include bending tests, thermal stability tests, impulse voltage tests, head distortion tests, corona level tests and dielectric thermal resistance tests. Special Tests These tests are conducted to ensure major design changes to cables conform to proper performance tresholds. After Installation Tests These tests are to determine and ensure that cables installed are in optimum operating conditions. Conductor resistance test on the completed circuit verification tests of cross bonded systems and surge divertor tests are among the running lists of such critical test requirements.
