2. Using features

1. Rated voltage: Uo/U:3.6/6kV, 6/10kV(11kV), 12/20kV(24kV), 19/33kV, 26/35kV(35kV).
2. No. of core: Single-core or three cores.
3. The highest allowed operating temperature of conductor for long-term working is 90oC. In short-circuit (Max. long-term is no more than 5 seconds). The highest temperature for a conductor is no more than 250ºC.
4. D.C. resistance of the conductor complies with the stipulations of 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV(11kV), 12/20kV(24kV), 19/33kV, 26/35kV(35kV).
5. The environment temperature should be no lower than 0oC when lay. Otherwise, it should be preheated.
6. The cable is laid without a horizontal drop limit.
7. Working Frequency Voltage Test: 3.5Uo/5min without puncture.
8. Partial Discharge Test: The discharge volume should be no more than 10pC under 1.73Uo for the cable.
9. Minimum Bending Radius: Single core - Fixed: 15 x overall diameter;3 core - Fixed: 12 x overall diameter
(Single core 12 x overall diameter and 3 core 10 x overall diameter where bands are positioned adjacent to joint or terminations provided that the bending is carefully controlled by the use of a former)
Note: The single-core armored cables are used for the D.C. system only. If used for the A.C. system, the magnetic isolation should be applied to the steel armor wires of non-magnetical materials that should be used.

Insulation: The cable has three layers of insulation. The first layer is made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which provides electrical insulation. The second layer can be either Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or PE (Polyethylene). Both materials offer excellent electrical insulation properties and are commonly used in medium voltage cables.

Conductor: The cable can have either aluminum or copper conductors. Both aluminum and copper are good conductors of electricity, with copper being more conductive but also more expensive than aluminum.

Armored: The cable is armored, which means it has a layer of armor for mechanical protection. The armor is typically made of steel wires or steel tapes. It provides additional strength to the cable, making it suitable for underground installations where it may encounter mechanical stresses.

Sheath: The cable has a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sheath, which is an outer protective layer. The sheath provides insulation and protects the cable from moisture, chemicals, and other environmental Voltage Rating: The cable is designed to operate at a voltage rating of 33 kilovolts (33kV). This indicates the maximum voltage level the cable can safely handle.
