Product Description
YJV22 Armoured Power Cable Copper Conductor Steel Tape Armor 8.7/15kV Applications
YJV22 Armored Power Cable - 8.7/15kV Copper Conductor
YJV22 is an XLPE insulated, PVC sheathed, steel tape armored power cable with copper conductors, engineered for robust power distribution in demanding environments requiring superior mechanical protection and reliability.
Cable Construction Breakdown
- YJ: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) Insulation
- V: PVC Sheath
- 22: Double Steel Tape Armor
Applications
- Underground Power Networks: Direct burial in industrial sites, renewable energy farms, and urban infrastructure
- Industrial Plants: Wiring for motors, transformers, and machinery in high-stress or corrosive environments
- Critical Infrastructure: Subways, tunnels, bridges, and power stations requiring mechanical protection
- Outdoor Installations: Cable trenches and fixed routing with protection against environmental damage
Key Advantages
- Mechanical Robustness: Steel tape armor resists crushing, impact, and rodent attacks
- High Performance: Copper conductor and XLPE insulation ensure efficient power transmission
- Durability: Suitable for harsh environments, including direct burial and industrial settings
- Versatility: Available in single-core/multicore designs with customizable conductor sizes (1.5-1000 mm²)

Frequently Asked Questions
What does YJV22 stand for?
- YJ: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) Insulation
- V: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Sheath
- 22: Double Steel Tape Armor (first '2' for steel tape, second '2' for PVC outer serving)
YJV22 is an armored power cable with copper conductors, designed for fixed installations requiring mechanical protection.
What is the main purpose of the steel tape armor?
The double steel tape armor provides superior mechanical protection against:
- Crushing from heavy loads or backfill (essential for direct burial)
- Impact and physical damage during or after installation
- Rodent and termite attacks
It allows the cable to be installed in harsh environments without additional conduits.
What are the standard voltage ratings?
- Low Voltage (LV): 0.6/1 kV (Most common for building and industrial power distribution)
- Medium Voltage (MV): 6/10 kV, 8.7/15 kV, 12/20 kV (For primary power distribution in grids and large facilities)
Where should I use YJV22 cable?
It is ideal for installations where cables are exposed to mechanical stress, including:
- Direct Burial in ground or cable trenches
- Industrial Plants, mines, and manufacturing facilities
- Infrastructure Projects like tunnels, bridges, and subways
- Cable Trays or Ducts in areas with high risk of impact
What are the key installation guidelines?
- Bending Radius: Minimum of 12 times the cable diameter (for multi-core) to avoid damaging armor and insulation
- Grounding: Steel armor must be properly grounded at both ends for electrical safety
- Pulling Tension: Use careful tension control to avoid armor distortion
- Corrosion: Suitable for most soils, but additional protection may be needed in highly corrosive environments
What is the temperature rating?
- Maximum Conductor Temperature (Continuous): 90°C (due to XLPE insulation)
- Short-Circuit Withstand: 250°C (for maximum 5 seconds)
- Installation Temperature: Should be ≥ 0°C to prevent PVC sheath from cracking
What is the packaging method for this type of cable?
Iron-Wood Cable Reel Packaging
Is YJV22 fire-resistant?
No. The standard YJV22 is not fire-resistant. Its primary function is mechanical protection. The PVC materials will burn and it will not maintain circuit integrity in a fire.
For fire safety, you need NH-YJV22 (Fire-Resistant) or WDZN-YJV22 (Fire-Resistant + Low Smoke Halogen Free).
What standards does it comply with?
- International: IEC 60502-1 (for 0.6/1 kV) and IEC 60502-2 (for MV cables)
- National (China): GB/T 12706.1-2020
- Other: Can be manufactured to meet BS (UK), VDE (Germany), or other regional standards
How do I select the right YJV22 cable?
Specify these key parameters:
- Voltage Rating (e.g., 0.6/1 kV)
- Conductor Size & Number of Cores (e.g., 3x150mm² for a 3-phase circuit)
- Length
- Special Requirements: If needed, specify a variant like ZC-YJV22 (Flame-Retardant) or NH-YJV22 (Fire-Resistant)
