APPLICATIONS

The single core cables are designed for distribution of electrical power with nominal voltage Uo/U ranging from 1.8/3KV to 26/35KV 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.

Conductor Screen

The conductor screen consists of an extruded layer of non metallic, semi-conducting compound firmly bonded to the insulation to exclude all air voids. The conductor screen is not necessary for both PVC and EPR/HEPR insulated 1.8/3KV and 3.6/6KV cables.

Insulation

Insulation is of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) intended for 1.8/3KV and 3.6/6KV cables, cross-linked polyethylene compound (XLPE) or ethylene propylene rubber (EPR/HEPR).

Armour (for armoured cable)

The armour consists of round aluminium wire armour applied helically over an extruded separation sheath.

Over Sheath

Overall sheath comprises a layer of extruded thermoplastic compound (PVC, PE or LSZH can be offered as an option.) or elastomeric compound (polychlorprene CSP or chlorosulfonated PE). The nominal over sheath thickness is calculated by 0.035D+1 where D is the fictitiuous diameter immediately under the over sheath in mm. For unarmoured cables and cables with the over sheath not applied over the armour, metallic screen or concentric conductor, the nominal over sheath thickness shall not be less than 1.4mm. And for cables with over sheath applied over the armour, metallic screen or concentric conductor, the nominal over sheath thickness shall not be less than 1.8mm.
