What governing standard and construction define CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE (Crepe-Paper Insulated Flexible Stranded Copper Transformer Lead Rope)?
CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE (Crepe-Paper Insulated Flexible Stranded Copper Transformer Lead Rope) is manufactured in accordance with IEC 60554-3 / IEC 60076 for Up to 220 kV service over -40 °C to +105 °C. Its 2-layer construction comprises stranded copper conductor, crepe-paper tape insulation.
What is the minimum bending radius and installation temperature for CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE?
The minimum installed bending radius for CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE is 5 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric stability without conductor or insulation strain.
How are the concentric layers of CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE arranged from inside to outside?
From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Stranded copper conductor (High-conductivity copper conductor per IEC 60554-3 / IEC 60076); (02) Crepe-paper tape insulation (Crepe-paper tape insulation (lapped tape)).
What factory test certificates are supplied with CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE?
Every production drum or spool of CREPE-PAPER COPPER ROPE undergoes routine conductor DC resistance, dimensional and dielectric/integrity testing per IEC 60554-3 / IEC 60076, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
