High-voltage underground cable
The product is mainly used for high-voltage underground power transmission systems.
The product consist of a copper conductor with enameled wires, semi-conductive tapes over the conductor, a semi-conductive layer (insulating screen), a cross-linked polyethylene insulating layer, a metallic screen made of copper wires, a laminated aluminum tape and an outer sheath. The cable is waterproof in the radial direction thanks to an aluminum laminate bonded to the outer sheath. In the longitudinal direction, it is waterproof with semi-conductive, swellable tapes under and above the metallic shield. The cable is also waterproof by swellable tapes in the conductor area.
To improve the transmission performance, the copper conductor is provided with enameled wires and reduces the environmental impact at energy transmission.
The product is suitable for fixed installation and the expected service life of the product is approximately 40 years.
