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.
