Product Description

26/35kV AL/XLPE/CWS/SWA/PVC Three Core Power Cable (50-240 mm²)

The 26/35kV three-core power cable manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed in accordance with IEC 60502-2 and IEC 60228 (Class 1 or Class 2 aluminium conductor). It adopts aluminium conductors, XLPE insulation, copper wire screen (CWS), steel wire armour (SWA) and PVC outer sheath, providing a practical solution for high-capacity medium-voltage underground distribution systems.

The aluminium conductor helps reduce cable weight and overall project cost, while the SWA layer provides additional mechanical protection for underground installations and long cable routes.

FAQ

Q1: Where is a 26/35kV three-core SWA cable typically used?
A: It is mainly used in primary MV distribution systems and large industrial power networks where higher voltage levels are required.

Q2: Why choose SWA at 26/35kV level?
A: SWA provides strong mechanical protection for underground installation, especially in areas with soil pressure or risk of external damage.

Q3: Is a three-core design still practical at this voltage level?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in compact urban grids where space saving and simplified installation are important.
