IEC/BS Standard 3.8-6.6kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable
3.8/6.6kV is a voltage rating more commonly associated with British standards, notably both BS6622 and BS7835 specifications, where applications can benefit from the mechanical protection provided by their aluminium wire or steel wire armour (depending on single core or three core configurations). Such cables would be well suited to fixed installations and providing power to heavy-duty static equipment as their rigid construction limits the bend radius.
Suitable for energy networks such as power stations. For installation in ducts, underground and outdoor.
Please note: Red outer sheath can be prone to fading when exposed to UV rays.

IEC/BS Standard 6.35-11kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable
Electric cable with copper conductors, semi conductive conductor screen, XLPE insulation, semi conductive insulation screen, copper tape metallic screen of each core, PVC bedding, galvanized steel wires armour (SWA) and PVC outer sheath. For energy networks where mechanical stresses are expected. Suitable for underground installation or in ducts.

IEC/BS Standard 6-10kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable
Suitable for energy networks such as power stations. For installation in ducts, underground and outdoor.
The aluminium wire armour (AWA) for single core cables and steel wire armour (SWA) for multicore cables provide robust mechanical protection making these 11kV cables suitable for direct burial in the ground. These armoured MV mains power cables are more commonly supplied with copper conductors but they are also available with aluminium conductors upon request to the same standard. The copper conductors are stranded (Class 2) whereas the aluminium conductors are compliant to the standard using both stranded and solid (Class 1) constructions.

IEC/BS Standard 8.7-15kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable
15kV is a voltage commonly specified for equipment cables, including robust Mining equipment cables, manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2, but is also associated with British standard armoured cables. Whilst mining cables may be sheathed in a robust Rubber to provide abrasion resistance, especially for trailing applications, the BS6622 and BS7835 standard cables are instead sheathed in PVC or LSZH materials, with mechanical protection provided from a layer of steel wire armouring.

IEC/BS Standard 12.7-22kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable
Suitable for energy networks such as power stations. For installation in ducts, underground and outdoor.
The cables made to BS6622 and BS7835 are generally supplied with Copper conductors with Class 2 rigid stranding. Single core cables have aluminium wire armour (AWA) to prevent induced current in the armour, whilst the multicore cables have steel wire armour (SWA) providing the mechanical protection. These are round wires that provide over 90% coverage.
Please note: Red outer sheath can be prone to fading when exposed to UV rays.

IEC/BS Standard 18-30kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable
The single core cables are designed for distribution of electrical power with nominal voltage Uo/U ranging from 3.8/6.6KV to 19/33KV and frequency 50Hz. They are suitable for installation mostly in power supply stations, indoors and in cable ducts, outdoors, underground and in water as well as for installation on cable trays for industries, switchboards and power stations.

IEC BS Standard 12-20kV-XLPE Insulated PVC sheathed MV Power Cable
Suitable for energy networks such as power stations. For installation in ducts, underground and outdoor.
There’s huge variations in construction, standards and the materials used – specifying the correct MV cable for a project is a matter of balancing the performance requirements, installation demands, and environmental challenges, and then ensuring cable, industry, and regulatory compliance. With the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defining Medium Voltage cables as having a voltage rating of above 1kV up to 100kV that’s a broad voltage range to consider. It’s more common to think as we do in terms of 3.3kV to 35kV, before it becomes high voltage. We can support cable specifications in all voltages.
