The application of heat and pressure is used to effect the
cross linking. This causes the individual molecular chains
to link with one another which in turn causes the material
to change from a thermoplastic to an elastic material.

dielectric loss factor is about one decimal power lower
than that of paper insulated cables and about two decimal
powers lower than that of PVC-insulated cables.Since the

function. Tests listed here include high voltage tests,
conductor resistance test, insulation resistance tests and
voltage tests on protective sheath coverings.
Type Tests
These tests are used to calibrate and validate cable design
type and they include bending tests, thermal stability tests,
impulse voltage tests, head distortion tests, corona level
tests and dielectric thermal resistance tests.
Special Tests
These tests are conducted to ensure major design
changes to cables conform to proper performance
thresholds.
After Installation Tests

These tests are to determine and ensure that cables
installed are in optimum operating conditions. Conductor

to link with one another which in turn causes the material

dielectric loss factor is about one decimal power lower

than that of paper insulated cables and about two decimal

powers lower than that of PVC-insulated cables.Since the

dielectric constant is also more favourable the mutual
