Medium Voltage Armoured Electrical Cable , Aluminium Wire Armoured Cable

Shanghai Shenghua Cable Group: Revolutionizing Power Distribution with Aluminum Wire Armoured (AWA) Cables for Extreme Terrains​​

As the global medium voltage cables market surges toward ​​$89.3 billion by 2032​​ (CAGR 4.9%) 

, infrastructure projects demand cables that conquer harsh environments without compromising efficiency. ​​Shanghai Shenghua Cable Group​​ answers this call with its ​​3.6/6kV Aluminum Wire Armoured (AWA) Cable​​—engineered for underground shafts, vertical drops, and corrosive settings where conventional cables fail.

​​Triple-Shielded Engineering for Demanding Installations​​

1. ​​Conductor Excellence​​

   • ​​Class 2 Copper​​ (IEC 60228): Compact stranded design balances conductivity (e.g., 1×500mm²: 8094 kg/km) and flexibility 
     
     
   • ​​XLPE Insulation​​: Withstands 90°C continuous operation, 130°C emergencies, and ​​250°C short circuits (5s)​​—outperforming PVC by 300% lifespan 
     
     

2. ​​Armor Innovation​​

   • ​​Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA)​​: 30% lighter than steel tape, resisting corrosion in saline/chemical environments while bearing mechanical pressure 
     
     
   • ​​Bending Radius​​: Compact ​​15× cable OD​​ enables tight turns in shafts and tunnels 
     
     

3. ​​Eco-Safe Sheathing​​

   • ​​PVC ST2 Sheath​​: Black outer layer compliant with IEC 60502, offering UV/Oil resistance for surface-exposed sections 
     
     

​​Certified Global Performance​​

• ​​Standards​​: IEC 60502, GB/T 12706.1-2008, with CE/RoHS/KEMA certifications 
  
  
• ​​Safety​​: LSOH sheath option available (per IEC 60502-2) to reduce toxic emissions in confined spaces 
  
  

​​Applications Where Gravity Meets Grit​​

• ​​Vertical Shafts​​: AWA tensile strength supports hanging installations (e.g., mining elevators).
• ​​Flood-Prone Zones​​: Water-blocking design for underground ducts (tested at -0°C ambient) 
  
  
• ​​Renewable Energy​​: XLPE resists thermal stress in solar farm trenches and wind turbine foundations.

​​Technical Superiority at Scale​​

​​Why Shenghua Dominates Global Projects?​​

• ​​Market Position​​: China’s #2 cable manufacturer with ​​6 production bases​​ and ​​$500M+ annual export​​
