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.

AS/NZS standard 3.8-6.6kV-XLPE Insulated MV Power Cable
Electricity distribution or sub-transmission networks cable typically used as primary supply to Commercial, Industrial and urban residential networks. Suitable for high fault level systems rated up to 10kA/1sec. Higher fault current rated constructions are available on request.

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.

AS/NZS standard 6.35-11kV-XLPE Insulated MV Power Cable
Electricity distribution or sub-transmission networks cable typically used as primary supply to Commercial, Industrial and urban residential networks. Suitable for high fault level systems rated up to 10kA/1sec. Higher fault current rated constructions are available on request. worked for static application in ground, within and outside facilities, outdoor, in cable canals, in water, in conditions where cables are not exposed to heavier mechanical stress and tensile strain. Due to its very low factor of dielectric loss, which remains constant over its entire operating lifetime, and owing to excellent insulation property of XLPE material, firmly longitudinally spliced with conductor screen and insulation screen of semi-conductive material (extruded in one process), the cable has a high operating reliability. Used in transformer stations, electric power plants and industrial plants.
A global medium voltage underground cable supplier offers a full variety of medium voltage underground cable from our stock and tailed electric cables as well.

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.

Custom designed Medium Voltage cables
For efficiency and longevity, every MV cable should be tailored to the installation but there are times when a truly bespoke cable is needed. Our MV cable experts can work with you to design a solution that matches your requirements. Most commonly, customisations affect the area size of the metallic screen, which can be adjusted to change the short circuit capacity and earthing provisions.In every case, the technical data is provided to demonstrate suitability and the specification honed for manufacture. All customised solutions are subject to enhanced testing in our MV Cable Testing Facility.
