Comparison and references

Differences between Type MP-GC EPR/CPE and Type MP-GC XPE/PVC

1）Electrical Performance

  • EPR/CPE:
    • EPR has excellent dielectric strength, lower dielectric loss, better for high voltage (8–15 kV) long‑term stability.
    • More stable at high temperature, less prone to partial discharge.
  • XLPE/PVC：
    • XLPE also has good insulation, but higher dielectric loss than EPR.
    • Suitable for 5–15 kV, but less ideal for long‑term high‑voltage, high‑load operation.

2）Mechanical & Environmental Resistance

  • EPR/CPE (Heavy‑Duty)
    • CPE jacket: superior abrasion, oil, chemical, acid/alkali resistance.
    • Excellent flexibility, low‑temperature resistance (‑20°C).
    • High resistance to tear, crush, impact in heavy mining conditions.
    • Thermoset，does not melt at 90°C，long service life.
  • XLPE/PVC (Standard‑Duty)
    • PVC jacket：good abrasion and oil resistance, but inferior to CPE.
    • Poor low‑temperature flexibility，becomes stiff/brittle below 0°C.
    • Lower resistance to chemicals, oils, and heavy mechanical stress.
    • Thermoplastic softens at high temperature，easier to deform under heavy load.

3）Application Range

  • Type MP-GC EPR/CPE Mining Power Feeder Cable：
    • Heavy‑duty underground mining, mobile equipment, frequent dragging/bending.
    • Wet, corrosive, oily mine environments.
    • Long‑term high‑voltage, high‑load circuits.
  • Type MP-GC XLPE/PVC Mining Power Feeder Cable:
    • Stationary/semi‑portable mine power distribution, ducts, direct burial, non‑flexing.
    • Dry or moderately wet conditions, less mechanical abuse.
    • Cost‑effective for fixed installations.

Quality Assurance

Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.

Bare copper wire bobbins inspected before stranding at the TEBAOFLEX factory

Raw Material Inspection

Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.

  • Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
  • EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
  • Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials
Operator monitoring an extrusion line control panel in the TEBAOFLEX workshop

Manufacturing Process Control

Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.

  • Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
  • Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
  • Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine
3.5 kV voltage withstand test station in the TEBAOFLEX laboratory

Electrical Testing

Finished lengths go through the routine tests required by the referenced VDE, ICEA, IEC or NEK standard.

  • Conductor resistance and insulation resistance on every length
  • Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
  • Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions
Tensile testing machine for conductor and sheath samples

Mechanical and Ageing Tests

Samples from production are tested for the duty a mining, crane or submersible cable will actually see.

  • Tensile strength and elongation of insulation and sheath before and after ageing
  • Hot-set, ozone, oil-immersion and low-temperature bending tests
  • Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions
Single-cable vertical flame test chamber

Flame Test and Final Inspection

Before packing, the cable is checked against the order and the flame-performance requirement of its standard.

  • Single-cable vertical flame test to IEC 60332-1-2 where specified
  • Metre marking, printing, drum length and appearance inspection
  • Test report and packing list issued with every shipment
