Abstract |
|
With the development taking place for the electrical cable durability and life span in practical world the PVC insulated cables are losing its importance which in fact have many drawbacks. There are many other types of insulators which are usually wound around the conductors with lesser drawbacks than PVC insulators. In order to over all that factors now the cables are being insulated with Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulator which has higher power rating and higher short circuit rating, higher emergency overload factor with a better withstanding capability towards the naturally occurring calamities. The process of insulation is carried out with the help of Extruder machine which is controlled by PLC controlling system. The controlling action is completely under the PLC controller. |
