IEC/BS standard XLPE Insulated LV Power Cable

IEC/BS standard XLPE Insulated LV Power Cable

Specifications:

    IEC/BS are the International Electrotechnical Commission standards and British Standards for these cables.
    IEC/BS standard XLPE-insulated low-voltage (LV) power cables are designed for fixed installation in distribution networks and industrial applications.
    XLPE Insulated Cable is laying indoors and outdoors. Able to bear certain traction during installation, but not external mechanical forces. Laying single core cable in magnetic ducts is not allowed.

Quick Detail

Parameter Table

IEC/BS standard XLPE-insulated low-voltage (LV) power cables are suitable for applications with rated voltages up to 0.6/1kV. Henan Jiapu Cable offers various configurations, including single-core and multi-core options, with optional steel wire armor to enhance strength and resistance to interference.

Application :

IEC/BS standard XLPE-insulated low-voltage (LV) power cables are primarily used for power transmission and distribution. They may be directly buried underground or installed in cable trays and tunnels, and are also suitable for industrial environments such as power stations, factories, and mining operations. XLPE Insulated Cable is laying indoors and outdoors. Able to bear certain traction during installation, but not external mechanical forces. Laying single core cable in magnetic ducts is not allowed. Cross-linked polyethylene cables may be manufactured using three processes (peroxide, silicone, and irradiation cross-linking) to produce various flame-retardant and non-flame-retardant cross-linked polyethylene cables. Flame-retardant cables encompass various types including low-smoke, low-halogen, low-smoke zero-halogen, and zero-smoke zero-halogen, and are categorised into three grades: A, B, and C.

Construction:

Conductor: Class 2 stranded copper conductor or aluminium conductor
Insulation: XLPE exhibits strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and oils. Its combustion products are primarily water and carbon dioxide, posing minimal environmental hazard.

Outer sheath: PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or rodent and termite-resistant PVC (optional)

Characteristics :

Rated voltage: 0.6/1 kV
Rated temperature: 0°C to +90°C
Bending radius: 1.5mm² to 16mm²: 6 x outer diameter
25mm² and above: 8 x outer diameter
Fire resistance: IEC 60332 Part 1, BS4066 Part 1

Core color:

1 core: brown
2 cores: brown, blue
3 cores: brown, black and grey
4 cores: brown, black, gray and blue
5 cores: brown, black, gray, blue and green/yellow
