Detailed Description of Cwcz-a/Cwcz-U-0.6/1kV 1×250mm² Power Cable (Compliant with BS 6387)

I. Core Information of the Product Itself

(I) Analysis of Specification Parameters
The Cwcz-a/Cwcz-U-0.6/1kV 1×250mm² power cable is meticulously designed in terms of specification parameters to meet the power transmission requirements of high-load scenarios, with each parameter reflecting its professionalism and reliability.
Voltage Level: The rated voltage of this cable is 0.6/1kV, enabling it to operate stably in medium and low-voltage power distribution systems. Among them, 0.6kV is the rated voltage between the core and the ground or the shielding layer, and 1kV is the rated voltage between cores. This design ensures that the cable can not only transmit power efficiently but also guarantee electrical safety in complex power transmission environments.
Core Structure and Cross-Section Specification: It adopts a single-core structure (1×250mm²). The single-core design reduces the impact of the skin effect when the cable transmits large currents, improving transmission efficiency. The 250mm² conductor cross-sectional area is the key to its ability to carry extremely large currents, with a rated current-carrying capacity (when laid in air) of up to 420A. This strong current-carrying capacity allows it to easily meet the power transmission needs of high-power equipment such as large industrial motors, substation outgoing lines, and high-rise building distribution trunks.
Conductor Material and Performance: The conductor is made of high-purity electrolytic copper with a purity of ≥99.95%. The high-purity copper material ensures good electrical conductivity, and its conductivity can reach more than 100% of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS). Through the compact stranding process, the structure of the conductor is more compact, which not only reduces the DC resistance (≤0.074Ω/km at 20℃) and the energy loss during power transmission but also enhances the mechanical strength and Flexibility of the conductor. This process treatment makes the cable less prone to breakage during complex laying scenarios such as bending and dragging, facilitating installation by construction personnel.
Insulation Layer Parameters: The insulation layer is made of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) with a temperature resistance of 105℃. XLPE material has excellent electrical insulation performance, which can effectively prevent current leakage and ensure the safety of power transmission. At the same time, it also has good anti-aging ability and can operate stably in a wide temperature range of -40℃ to 90℃, without performance degradation due to drastic temperature changes, ensuring the reliability of the cable under different climatic and environmental conditions.
Sheath Layer Parameters: The sheath layer can be made of flame-retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or low-smoke halogen-free materials. Flame-retardant PVC material has good flame retardancy and mechanical strength, which can prevent the spread of flames to a certain extent and protect the internal structure of the cable. Low-smoke halogen-free materials, when a fire occurs, will not release a large amount of toxic gases and smoke, reducing harm to personnel and equipment, and are more environmentally friendly and safe. The thickness of the sheath layer is accurately calculated to provide effective protection for the cable against external mechanical damage and chemical corrosion.
Armour Layer Parameters (Optional): The outer layer of the cable can be added with Steel Tape armoring according to requirements. The thickness and material of the steel tape armor are strictly selected, which can significantly enhance the cable's resistance to mechanical impact and corrosion. The armor layer enables the cable to adapt to various laying methods such as underground, pipe 穿管,and overhead, and can maintain stable performance in different installation environments.

The excellent performance of the Cwcz-a/Cwcz-U-0.6/1kV 1×250mm² power cable benefits from advanced production processes and strict quality control processes, with every link from the selection of raw materials to the inspection of finished products being 精益求精.
1. Conductor Manufacturing Process: High-purity electrolytic copper rods are selected as raw materials and processed into single wires through a continuous extrusion machine. During the single wire processing, the diameter and tolerance of the single wire are strictly controlled to ensure uniform quality of the single wire. Then, the compact stranding process is used to strand the single wires into a conductor. By precisely controlling the stranding pitch and pressure, the structure of the conductor is compact, the filling coefficient of the conductor is improved, and the DC resistance is reduced. The Stranded Conductor also needs to be annealed to eliminate the stress generated during processing and improve the flexibility and conductivity of the conductor.
2. Insulation Layer Extrusion Process: Three-layer co-extrusion equipment is used for the extrusion of the insulation layer, that is, the conductor shielding layer, insulation layer, and insulation shielding layer are extruded at the same time. This process can ensure that the layers are tightly combined, reduce interface defects, and improve insulation performance. During the extrusion process, parameters such as extrusion temperature, speed, and pressure are strictly controlled to ensure that the thickness of the insulation layer is uniform and the deviation does not exceed the specified range. The insulation layer material is high-quality XLPE. After extrusion, it undergoes a cross-linking reaction through a cross-linking tube. By precisely controlling the cross-linking temperature, pressure, and time, the cross-linking degree of the XLPE material meets the requirement (≥75%) to ensure the temperature resistance and mechanical properties of the insulation layer.
3. Sheath Layer Extrusion Process: Select appropriate sheath materials (flame-retardant PVC or low-smoke halogen-free materials) according to customer needs. Before extrusion, the materials are dried to remove moisture in the materials to avoid defects such as bubbles during extrusion. Advanced extrusion equipment is used to coat the sheath material on the insulation layer or armor layer, and the extrusion parameters are controlled to ensure that the thickness of the sheath layer is uniform, the surface is smooth, and there are no cracks, bubbles, or other defects.
4. Armoring Process (if selected): For cables that need to be added with steel tape armoring, a fully automatic armoring machine is used for armoring. During the armoring process, the tension and winding pitch of the steel tape are strictly controlled to ensure that the armor layer is closely attached to the outer sheath layer without loosening, wrinkling, or other phenomena. After armoring is completed, the armor layer is subjected to anti-corrosion treatment to improve its corrosion resistance.
5. Quality Control Process: A sound quality control system is established during the production process. Raw materials are strictly inspected, and only raw materials that meet the requirements can be put into production. After each production process is completed, corresponding inspections are carried out, such as the diameter of the conductor, DC resistance, thickness of the insulation layer, eccentricity, thickness of the sheath layer, appearance, etc. Finished cables need to undergo a number of rigorous tests, including power frequency withstand voltage test (3kV/5min without breakdown), partial discharge test (≤10pC), flame retardancy test, mechanical performance test, etc. Each batch of products is accompanied by a detailed test report to ensure that the products meet the BS 6387 standard and relevant international safety specifications.
