AWA Armoured Cable 18/30kV Single Core Copper Conductor XLPE Insulated IEC 60502-2 Power Cable

18/30kV Single Core AWA Copper Conductor XLPE Insulated Armoured Power Cable

Application

This 18/30kV single core AWA armoured power cable combines a high conductivity copper conductor with XLPE insulation and a lightweight aluminium wire armour layer. It offers outstanding mechanical protection, corrosion resistance and stable transmission performance for high grade medium voltage networks, and is widely deployed in:

• Urban and suburban power distribution networks (direct burial and duct installation)
• Industrial plants, mines and heavy equipment power supply
• Substation feeders and transformer connections
• Infrastructure projects (airports, metro, seaports)

Construction

• Conductor: Class 2 stranded compacted copper conductor
• Conductor shield: Semi-conductive compound
• Insulation: XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene)
• Insulation shield: Peelable semi-conductive compound
• Metallic screen: Copper tape or copper wire
• Armour: AWA (aluminium wire armour)
• Outer sheath: PVC or PE (black)

Characteristics

• Voltage rating U0/U: 18/30kV (max 36kV)
• Maximum conductor operating temperature: +90°C
• Short circuit temperature: 250°C (max 5s)
• Minimum bending radius: 15D (single core)
• Standards: IEC 60502-2, GB/T 12706.2

Key Advantages of AWA Armour

• High conductivity copper conductor ensures lower power loss and higher transmission efficiency
• Lightweight aluminium wire armour reduces overall cable weight for easier handling and installation
• Excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for direct burial and humid environments
• Robust mechanical protection against impact, crushing and rodent damage
