Medium Voltage Power Cables

XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed Three-

core Cables for Fixed Installations,
3.6/6 kV; 6/10 kV; 12/20kV; 18/30 kV

APPLICATION:
For indoor or outdoor installation in open air in
tray, trough and conduit or for direct burial in free
draining soil or inside duct where no mechanical
damage is to be expected. Power cable for utilities
medium voltage underground distribution systems
and in commercial buildings, industrial plants,
power stations and substations. For rated voltages
U0/U(Um): 3.6/6(7.2) kV; 6/10(12) kV; 12/20kV
or 18/30 kV at maximum conductor temperatures
of 90 °C for continuous normal operation and
250 °C for short circuit.
