What is difference between PVC cable & XLPE cable?

Answer Posted / nikhil garg

xlpe cable can stand for higher temperature(90'c)as
compared to pvc.PVC cables can stand for temperature(70'c).
Pvc cable more reliable from xlpe cables.
But XLPE has the following advantages over PVC insulated
cables:
1.They have high overload capacity.
2.Lighter in weight, smaller bend radius, hence lesser
installation cost.
3.It has higher short circuit rating.
4.It has lower di -electric and constant power factor :
This results in saving of power losses.

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.

I'm generating a pulse of 3V with frequency 80Hz (12.5ms time period) and pulse duration 0.125ms and feeding it to a transformer since i want the pulse to get amplified around 60V. At the output amplification s happening but the pulse is changed to a spike, can you tell me what could be the reason? (an ordinary transformer 220V-12V stepdown transformer is reverse connected ie. now it is 12V-220V stepup and voltage amplification happens)
