Passing on a question from someone posting to the wiki:


".....distinguishing between the PVC and XLPE is more of an issue for me
when its already been installed as opposed to purchasing the cable. I do
Testing and Inspecting on existing Electrical Installations and its not
possible, alot of the time, to see any inscriptions on the cable ....
for example ; cable size,PVC or XLPE? I just wondered if there was a
visual or texture to the outer sheath which would differentiate between
the two materials? "

I doubt there is any difference to the outer sheath, but anyone know a
foolproof way to identify the insulation type?
