Product overview

XLPE insulated MV cable for project power distribution

Huanyu Cable supplies medium voltage XLPE power cables for distribution networks, substations, industrial plants, renewable energy grid-connection projects and large facilities. Cable construction is reviewed according to the confirmed voltage class, route conditions, conductor material, screen design, armour requirement and documentation scope.

Design options

Copper or aluminum, unarmoured, STA and SWA designs

Typical Chinese model references for MV cable construction families include YJV, YJY, YJV22, YJV23, YJV32 and YJV33. Steel tape armour and steel wire armour are selected by installation conditions, while conductor, sheath and final project designation are confirmed project by project.

For an MV cable quotation, share the system voltage, cable designation, single-core or three-core construction, conductor size, screen design, armour, sheath and installation route. Applicable IEC 60502-2, GB/T or project-specific requirements, together with required tests and documents, are reviewed before the final construction is confirmed.

FAQ

Medium voltage cable questions for project buyers

What voltage range do your medium voltage power cables cover?

Huanyu Cable reviews MV cable requirements from 3.6/6 kV up to 35 kV classes, including common 6/10 kV, 8.7/15 kV, 12/20 kV, 18/30 kV, 21/35 kV and 26/35 kV projects.

What is the difference between YJV, YJV22 and YJV32 medium voltage cables?

YJV or YJY are unarmoured XLPE insulated MV cables. YJV22 and YJV23 use steel tape armour. YJV32 and YJV33 use steel wire armour.

Can you supply both copper and aluminum conductor MV cables?

Copper and aluminum conductor options can be reviewed per project, based on voltage class, conductor size, route design and confirmed specifications.

Can Huanyu Cable manufacture MV cables according to IEC-based project specifications?

IEC-based medium voltage cable requirements can be reviewed project by project against the confirmed cable design, testing scope and documentation requirements.

How should I choose between unarmoured, STA and SWA MV cables?

The selection depends on installation route, mechanical protection, pulling conditions and project specification. Unarmoured, STA and SWA designs should be confirmed before quotation.

Can flame-retardant or LSZH sheath options be reviewed for MV cables?

Flame-retardant or LSZH sheath requirements can be reviewed where the project specifies fire-safety or smoke-performance requirements for the MV cable route.

What information should I provide for a medium voltage cable inquiry?

Please send voltage class, cable type, conductor material, cores, cross-section, armour, sheath, standard, quantity and installation environment.
