IEC 60502 26/35kV 3 Core Aluminium Conductor SWA Armoured Power Cable for Substation Projects 

Product Overview

IEC 60502 26/35kV medium voltage power cables are engineered for heavy-duty power distribution and are widely used in:

• substation projects

• industrial power transmission

• underground distribution systems

• infrastructure EPC projects

Designed as a comprehensive solution for demanding installation environments, this high-performance XLPE power cable combines a reliable Aluminium Conductor, robust armored cable protection, and adherence to rigorous IEC 60502 standards. Whether deployed for underground power cable networks or large-scale industrial setups, it ensures stable, long-term operational efficiency.

Industry Applications & Environments

To meet complex engineering requirements, our medium-voltage cables are tailored for specific industrial sectors:

Mining Environments Require: Robust mechanical defense against heavy impacts, rock pressure, and moisture. Our SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) configuration provides the ultimate physical shielding for harsh mining layouts.

 Technical Specifications

• Cross-section Area Options: Ranging from standard commercial sizes up to heavy-duty industrial configurations (e.g., $95\text{ mm}^2$ to $630\text{ mm}^2$).

• Current Carrying Capacity & Short-circuit Rating: Optimized for high-load transmission; detailed data sheets with correction factors available upon request for EPC contractors.

Engineering Advantages

Suitable for harsh industrial environments with high mechanical protection requirements, this cable delivers exceptional value for large-scale engineering projects:

• Mechanical Defense: Heavy-duty SWA layer prevents crushing and damage during underground installation and direct burial.

• Environmental Resilience: Features built-in UV resistance, chemical resistance, and flame retardant performance.

• Safety Options: Low smoke halogen-free (LSZH) outer sheath alternatives available for enclosed or sensitive infrastructure zones.

• EPC Project Ready: Tailored for seamless integration into complex industrial power distribution networks and utility tenders.

Standards & Quality Certifications

Manufactured under strict international quality control frameworks to guarantee reliability for global engineering procurement:

• International Standards: IEC 60502-2, BS 6622, IEC 60332

• Quality Management: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 certified manufacturing facilities.

• Verification: Certification PDF, factory type-testing reports, and third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TUV) reports are fully supported for project submittals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is an SWA armoured cable suitable for underground installation?

Yes. The Galvanized Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) layer provides exceptional mechanical strength, making it ideal for direct burial, cable trenches, and underground duct systems without the risk of crushing from soil pressure or accidental digging.

2. What is the advantage of using an Aluminium Conductor over copper in 35kV cables?

An Aluminium Conductor offers a significantly lighter weight and a cost-effective solution for long-distance medium-voltage power transmission, while maintaining reliable conductivity and meeting all structural requirements for modern grid networks.

3. What standards are available for this 26/35kV power cable?

This cable is primarily manufactured in compliance with IEC 60502-2. Equivalent regional standards such as BS specifications can also be accommodated based on specific project tender requirements.

4. How do I select the correct cable size for my industrial or EPC project?

Cable selection depends on several factors, including the system voltage ($26/35\text{ kV}$), total load current, installation method (underground burial vs. free air), and maximum allowable voltage drop. Our engineering team can provide precise calculation support based on your project parameters.

5. What is the expected service life of this XLPE insulated power cable?

When properly selected, installed according to standard codes, and operated within its rated temperature parameters ($90^\circ\text{C}$ continuous operation), the service life of the XLPE cable typically exceeds 30 years.
