Medium-voltage XLPE cable carries power from 5 to 46 kV with cross-linked polyethylene insulation, extruded semiconductive layers and a copper metallic shield, per IEC 60502-2 (6 to 30 kV) and ICEA S-94-649. XLPE runs at 90 °C continuously and withstands 250 °C in short circuit.
The medium-voltage XLPE cable is used in primary distribution networks, industrial feeders, substations and routes where cross-linked insulation and electric field control are required. The lot records cable with XLPE insulation, copper screen and a 5 kV to 46 kV range, quoted by project. For this type of supply, publishing one capacity is not advisable: nominal voltage, gauge, conductor, screen, jacket, duct or cable tray installation, length, splices, terminations and tests are involved. IEC 60502-2 is a public reference for power cables with extruded insulation in medium voltage; the final specification must be validated with the designer, network operator and inspection. It differs from PV photovoltaic cable because it belongs to medium-voltage AC networks, not solar DC strings of relatively low voltage.

Construction per IEC 60502-2 up to 30 kV; 35 and 46 kV classes follow ICEA S-94-649 and AEIC CS8. Insulation level is specified at 100 % or 133 % depending on the system's ground-fault clearing time.
It is quoted by project because voltage, gauge, screen, jacket, length, accessories and required tests change. Write to us via WhatsApp.
The available data indicates medium-voltage XLPE cable from 5 kV to 46 kV.
Medium-voltage XLPE is for primary AC networks and requires specialized terminations, splices and tests. PV is for solar DC circuits.
Yes, the actual lot description indicates cable with copper screen. The exact construction is confirmed with the requested datasheet.
It must be installed by qualified personnel, with pulling control, bend radii, screen preparation, compatible kits and acceptance tests.
Nominal voltage, gauge, conductor, screen, jacket, length, installation type, required accessories and delivery city.
That the insulation wall is oversized for systems where a ground fault may persist for more than one minute before clearing; systems with fast clearing (under 1 minute) use the 100 % level.
It confines the electric field, drains capacitive and ground-fault currents and provides a safe potential reference at the cable surface; it must be earthed at terminations per the design (one or both ends).
