MV XLPE Armored Cable

£0.42

Medium Voltage (MV) XLPE Armored Cable is a robust and reliable solution for power distribution in a variety of demanding applications. The “MV” designation signifies its suitability for medium voltage levels, typically ranging from 6kV to 35kV, making it ideal for industrial facilities, power plants, and infrastructure projects. XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation provides excellent electrical properties, including high dielectric strength and resistance to heat and chemical degradation, ensuring long-term performance and safety.

The armored construction of the cable offers crucial mechanical protection, shielding the internal conductors and insulation from physical damage during installation and operation. This armor, often made of steel wire or aluminum, safeguards against impacts, crushing forces, and rodent attacks, making the cable suitable for direct burial, underground ducting, and harsh environments. Furthermore, MV XLPE armored cables are designed to withstand significant electrical stresses and offer exceptional resistance to moisture, UV exposure, and other environmental factors, contributing to a long and dependable service life with minimal maintenance requirements.

Description

Medium Voltage (MV) XLPE Armored Cables are a type of electrical power cable designed to operate at medium voltage levels, typically ranging from 6.35 kV to 35 kV. These cables are built with a combination of advanced insulation materials and robust mechanical protection to ensure reliable and efficient transmission of electrical power over long distances.

The insulation system of MV XLPE Armored Cables consists of a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) material, which provides exceptional electrical insulation properties, including high dielectric strength, low dielectric loss, and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

The XLPE insulation is wrapped around a central copper or aluminum conductor, which is designed to minimize electrical losses and maximize power transmission efficiency. To provide additional mechanical protection, the XLPE insulated core is then wrapped with a layer of armoring material, typically made of galvanized steel or aluminum. This armor layer serves as a barrier against physical damage, moisture ingress, and rodent attack, making the cable suitable for direct burial in harsh environments.

The armored layer is then jacketed with a tough, UV-resistant outer sheath that provides further protection against the elements and mechanical stresses. The outer sheath is available in a range of colors and materials to suit specific application requirements.

MV XLPE Armored Cables are widely used in a variety of applications, including power distribution networks, industrial power systems, renewable energy installations, and infrastructure projects such as railways and highways.

Their versatility, reliability, and durability make them an ideal choice for medium voltage power transmission systems that require high levels of safety, efficiency, and performance. Overall, MV XLPE Armored Cables offer a reliable and efficient solution for medium voltage power transmission, with their advanced insulation materials, robust mechanical protection, and versatility in application making them a popular choice among engineers, contractors, and project owners.
