APPLICATION

BURY CABLE supplies this overall screened, wire armoured XLPE cable for fixed medium voltage circuits in substations, industrial plants and utility projects. The layered sheath system and wire armour provide a construction for routes requiring both electrical screening and mechanical protection.

Standards

IEC 60228

IEC 60502-2

Construction

Conductor : Stranded bare copper (class 2)

Conductor screen : This will be an extruded layer of semi-conducting crosslinkable compound applied under simultaneous triple extrusion process over the conductor along with the insulation and the insulation screen.

Insulation : Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)

Insulation screen : This will be a layer of semi-conducting crosslinkable compound which will be applied by triple extrusion process over the insulation.

Core identification

1 Core : Natural

3 Cores : Black, Green, Brown

Inner sheath : PVC

Overall screen : Aluminum/polyethylene tape

Sheath : HDPE; Color : black

Special sheath (intermediate sheath) : Polyamide

Armor : Galvanized steel wires or aluminium wires for 1 core cable

Outer sheath : Special PVC. Color : red. U.V resistance can be offered upon request.

KEY FEATURES

  • Class 2 stranded copper and XLPE insulation, with semiconducting conductor and insulation screens applied by triple extrusion.

  • Overall aluminium/polyethylene tape screen, PVC inner sheath, HDPE sheath and polyamide intermediate layer.

  • Galvanized steel wire armour for multicore cable and aluminium wire armour for single core cable; red special PVC outer sheath.

SELECTION NOTES

  • Specify the network voltage U0/U(Um), core count, conductor size, fault duty, load and route conditions. Coordinate screen and armour bonding with the installation design.

  • Select glands and terminations for the armour material and agreed cable dimensions. Include UV resistance, chemical exposure and drum-length requirements in the order.

  • The stated operating range is -20 to 60°C; the maximum conductor operating temperature is 90°C.

FAQ

Which armour materials are used?

Galvanized steel wires are specified for multicore construction, with aluminium wires for single core cable.

What is the overall screening layer?

Aluminium/polyethylene tape, incorporated with PVC, HDPE and polyamide sheath layers.

What provides the main electrical insulation?

XLPE surrounds the copper conductor, between the semiconducting conductor and insulation screens.

What is the outer sheath colour?

Red special PVC. UV resistance can be included as a specified option.

What information helps select accessories?

Core count, rated voltage, conductor size, overall diameter, screen arrangement and armour material establish the basis for gland and termination selection.
