IEC BS 12-20kV-XLPE Insulated PVC sheathed MV Middle Voltage Power Cable

Description

There is big difference 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(MV) cables as having a voltage rating of above 1kV up to 100kV, which is  a broad voltage range to consider. Our more common idea is 3.3kV to 35kV, before it becomes high voltage. We can support cables for all voltages.

Application

Suitable for energy networks such as power stations,distribution system etc. It usually used for installation in ducts, underground and outdoors. 

Due to its robustness and high electrical stability, medium voltage cables are used in harsh environments.

Note: Red outer sheath can be prone to fading when exposed to UV rays.

Standards

Flame propagation to BS EN60332BS6622IEC 60502
