XLPE copper cables

XLPE copper cables - versatile energy solutions

XLPE copper cables are the basis of modern electrical installations.   Their unique properties make them indispensable in many applications. At Onninen we offer a wide selection of these products. Our portfolio includes cables for various applications. Options are available with different voltages and numbers of cores. This means that every customer will find the perfect solution.

We often come across questions about the types of XLPE cables. It is worth knowing that they are divided into several categories. The most popular are pump and power cables. The former come in 750V and 1kV versions. Power cables usually have a voltage of 1kV. 1000 Power cables are used to power devices. They differ in the number of cores - from 1x to even 12G.

Variety of XLPE copper cables in Onninen's offer

Our range includes products from renowned brands. These include Helukabel, Top Marki and Bitner.   We know from experience that customers value their reliability and durability.   Each of these companies specializes in specific types of cables. This allows us to tailor the product to your specific needs.

YKXS cables are one of the most popular product groups. They are characterized by excellent technical parameters. Their cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides high durability. They are often used in difficult environmental conditions. We recently used these cables in a project for a large industrial plant.

• Pump cables 750V and 1kV
• 1kV power cables
• 1000 Power Power Cables
• Cables with different number of cores (from 1x to 12G)

XLPE Copper Cable Selection Criteria

The correct selection of XLPE cable is critical to the safety and efficiency of the installation.   In our daily practice, we see how important it is to match the product to the application. The basic criteria are the operating voltage and the number of cores. The operating conditions of the cable must also be taken into account. Temperature, humidity and exposure to mechanical damage are important.

Many customers ask us about the differences between 1x and 5G cables. The former are mainly used in simple single-phase installations. 5G cables are used in three-phase systems with neutral and protective conductors. In the case of office reorganization, 3G or 5G cables are most often chosen. They provide flexibility in arranging the space.

Our experience shows that 7G and 10G cables are effective in machine control. They allow for the transmission of a greater number of signals. 12G cables are used in the most complex automation systems. Onninen recommends them for advanced production lines.

1. Determine the operating voltage of the installation
2. Determine the required number of strands
3. Analyze environmental conditions
4. Take future system expansions into account

Practical applications of XLPE copper cables

XLPE copper cables are widely used in industry and construction.   Their versatility makes them useful in various projects. In the power industry, they are used to build distribution networks. In industry, they are used to power machines and devices. Residential construction also benefits from the advantages of these cables.

We often come across questions about cables for photovoltaic installations. In this case, single-core 1x cables work well. They are resistant to UV radiation and changing weather conditions. For connections inside buildings, we recommend 3G or 5G cables. They provide flexibility in designing the installation.

In the food industry, XLPE cables must meet strict hygiene standards. Cables with special coatings are often used there. They are resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants. We recently completed a project for a large dairy. We used YKXS cables with increased chemical resistance.

XLPE copper cables are a standard solution in industrial automation. Their reliability is crucial for the continuity of production. In one of the furniture factories, we used 7G cables to control the production line. This enabled precise control of individual stages of the process.

Selecting the right XLPE copper cable is critical for every installation.   At Onninen we provide expert advice in this area. Our specialists will help you choose the optimal solution for your specific project. We invite you to contact us and take advantage of our experience in the field of XLPE cables.
