Technical Specifications

Note: The above specifications describe the requested cable construction. Final technical data, including conductor class, screen cross-section, insulation and sheath thickness, overall diameter, current rating, and test requirements, should be confirmed in the approved technical datasheet.

Cable Construction

1. Copper Conductor

The conductor consists of stranded copper wires with a nominal cross-sectional area of 150 mm². Copper provides good electrical conductivity and is widely used in industrial power cables where dependable electrical performance is required.

2. XLPE Insulation

Cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides electrical insulation and thermal stability. The insulation design is selected according to the rated voltage, applicable standard, and intended operating conditions.

3. Copper Wire Screen (CWS)

The copper wire screen forms a conductive screening layer around the insulated conductor. Its design, including wire arrangement and total cross-sectional area, depends on the required electrical screening and fault-current performance.

The required screen construction should be specified in the project documentation.

4. PE Outer Sheath

The polyethylene outer sheath protects the cable's internal components against moisture and external environmental influences appropriate to the selected PE compound and installation conditions.

Where additional resistance to sunlight, chemicals, abrasion, or other environmental factors is required, the relevant sheath properties should be specified before production.

Typical Applications

This 1.8/3 kV single-core copper power cable may be considered for the following applications, subject to confirmation of the electrical design and applicable installation requirements:

• Industrial power distribution systems

• Electrical equipment and power supply connections

• Industrial plants and infrastructure projects

• Screened power cable installations

• Customized electrical installations requiring a 150 mm² copper conductor

• Projects requiring XLPE insulation, copper wire screening, and a PE outer sheath

The suitability of this cable for a specific installation depends on system earthing, short-circuit requirements, installation conditions, and the applicable electrical regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1×150 mm² mean in a power cable?

It means the cable has one conductor with a nominal cross-sectional area of 150 mm². A single-core cable may be used individually or as part of a multi-conductor power circuit, depending on the electrical system design.

What is the function of the copper wire screen?

The copper wire screen provides a conductive screening layer around the insulated conductor. Its specific function and required cross-section depend on the system design, earthing arrangement, and fault-current requirements.

What are the advantages of XLPE insulation?

XLPE insulation offers good dielectric properties, thermal performance, and resistance to electrical and thermal ageing when the cable is correctly designed and installed.

Why use a PE outer sheath?

A PE sheath can provide good moisture resistance and environmental protection. The exact performance depends on the PE compound, sheath design, and installation conditions.
