XLPE Submarine Cables
XLPE insulated Cable has been the preferred technology for submarine applications
due to several advantages below compared to Paper Insulated cables:

XLPE Cable ■No potential environmental impact (no oil leak)

(Extruded XLPE Insulated Cable)
■H
 igher Operating Temperature
(up to 90°C. Max. 55°C for Paper Insulated Cables)
■Higher electrical strength and better mechanical properties
■Reduced maintenance
■No Installation restriction of altitude drop height (no oil fluidness)
■No production capacity limitation for meet full demand
for submarine market
(No or few new investments for paper insulated Cables)

Structure of XLPE Submarine Cables

MV/HV XLPE Submarine Cables

■Voltage from 10kV to 220kV

■Three-core (3/C) or
