MV Power Cable

Eland Product Group:: A9M
Application:: Cable used to distribute three phase a.c. electrical power supplies at nominal system voltages of 33kV to traction substations on D.C. electrified lines.
Standards:: NR/PS/ELP/00008 (formerly RT/E/PS/00008) BS6622, BS6234, BS7454, IEC 60502-2, IEC 60840
Conductor:: 185mm²: Class 1 circular solid aluminium to BS EN 60228:2005 (previously BS6360)
300mm²: Class 2 compact circular stranded plain copper to BS EN 60228:2005 (previously BS6360)
Conductor Screen:: Extruded semi-conducting XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene), solidly bonded
Insulation:: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)
Insulation Screen :: Extruded semi-conducting XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene), solidly bonded, strippable
Separator:: Water blocking tape
Screen:: Copper wire screen, helically wound with equalising copper tape
Separator:: Water blocking tape
Sheath:: Graphite coated MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) type TS2
Sheath Colour:: Black
Voltage Rating:: 19000/33000V
Temperature Rating:: +90˚C
Minimum Bending Radius:: 15 x overall diameter (12 x overall diameter adjacent to joints or terminations provided that bending is carefully controlled by use of former)
Spike Test:: Eland Cables performed a Spike Test on samples of 33kV cable to prove that the screen of the cable can withstand a full specified fault current for a period of no less than 3 seconds. It simulates the accidental “spiking” of a live cable installation and ensures that the circuit protection will operate and the circuit fails to safety.
