Plastics materials for power cables in Zhengzhou City Borouge to supply plastics insulation and semiconductive cable materials to the Zhengzhou Electric Bureau helping to keep a smooth uninterrupted power supply.
Borouge, the joint venture between Borealis, a pre-eminent European plastics provider, and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), is helping the Zhengzhou Electric Bureau keep a smooth uninterrupted power supply to Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, China, by supplying Superclean* LE4201 insulation and Supersmooth* LE0500 semiconductive cable materials from Borealis. Zhengzhou City is the capital of Henan Province with a population of 5.6 million. As a key industrial base and railway intersection within China, the need for a well performing electricity network is vital. An eight kilometre High Voltage (HV) power cable transmitting electricity from the power grid to the city was put into operation in early 2005 and has been proven reliable in the supply of electricity.
Chinese cable producer Prysmian Baosheng, responsible for the production
and installation of the cable, recommended Borealis crosslinked polyethylene
(XLPE) insulation and semiconductive materials Mr Chen Guo Ping, Logistics Manager, Prysmian Baosheng, comments on their choice of materials: “Long-term, reliable performance was the key priority for the Zhengzhou Electric Bureau when selecting a new power network for the City. We have worked with Borouge on projects around the world and we were confident that the combination of our close cooperation and the high quality cabling that can be achieved with Superclean LE4201 and Supersmooth LE0500 from Borealis would deliver the best result for our customer. The cable has been in operation for over a year and Zhengzhou is pleased with its performance.” Cable insulation cleanliness is a recognised contributor to the reliability
and longevity of power cables. The risk of critical failures to power
supply is reduced greatly when contamination levels in the insulation
are low. Borealis The potential for reliable performance is improved further when used
in combination with Supersmooth for the semiconductive layers in XLPE
power cables. The smooth surface offered by extruded Supersmooth semiconductive
materials creates an even interface between the insulation and semiconductive
layers within a power cable. The lack of surface irregularity reduces
the risk of abnormal electrical stress on the cable, thereby lowering
the risk of breakdowns in the power circuit and keeping the power supply
flowing. Read a recent press release from Borealis about; 'Borealis plastics provides
high-quality polyolefin compounds
to the wire and cable market, combining unique, high productivity with
a longer lifetime for XLPE cables.'
