XWA MV Power Cable
XWA manufactures 6kV to 35kV XLPE medium voltage power cables for distribution networks, substations, industrial plants and renewable energy collection systems, with copper or aluminum conductors, screened insulation systems, armoring options and sheath materials matched to project specifications.
XWA’s engineering team develops each MV cable construction according to the rated voltage, conductor size, core arrangement, screen design, armoring requirement, water-blocking condition and installation environment for underground, duct, tray and direct-burial routes.
MV Cable by IEC Voltage Rating
XWA organizes this product group around IEC U0/U(Um) voltage designations and the common market names used for distribution, substation and industrial power systems.
North American MV Cable
5kV, 15kV, 25kV and 35kV Classes
North American MV Cable covers nominal voltage classes used in utility, industrial, renewable energy and feeder systems.
Different Naming Basis
IEC pages use U₀/U(Um), such as 8.7/15(17.5)kV, while North American schedules commonly use 5kV, 15kV, 25kV or 35kV class names.
Project Specification Review
XWA reviews conductor, insulation level, shield system, jacket, installation route and required standard scope before confirming the cable construction.
MV Cable by Model Designation
XWA also supplies published medium voltage model pages for IEC and European-style cable designations used in project specifications and tender schedules.
NA2XSY Cable
Aluminum conductor variant for screened medium voltage distribution systems.
N2XS2Y Cable
XLPE insulated PE sheathed MV cable for outdoor and underground routes.
MV power cable is used between low-voltage distribution and high-voltage transmission systems. It supports feeder circuits, transformer substations, industrial power intake, wind and solar collection networks, mining power distribution and municipal underground grids where screened insulation and controlled earthing are required.
XWA produces medium voltage cable in single-core and three-core constructions, including copper wire screened cable, copper tape screened cable, steel wire armoured cable, steel tape armoured cable, aluminum wire armoured cable and water-blocked designs for demanding route conditions.
Distribution Voltage
Common project classes include 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV, 8.7/15kV, 12/20kV, 18/30kV and 26/35kV cable designs.
Screened XLPE System
Manufactured with conductor screen, XLPE insulation, insulation screen and metallic screen layers for stable electric field control.
Installation Options
Factory configurations cover duct, tray, direct burial, tunnel, substation, renewable energy and industrial feeder applications.
MV XLPE Cable Construction
XWA produces medium voltage XLPE cable with a screened insulation system and route-specific mechanical protection. A typical MV cable includes a compacted copper or aluminum conductor, conductor screen, XLPE insulation, insulation screen, metallic screen, bedding layer, optional armor and an outer sheath selected for the installation environment.
| Conductor | Copper or aluminum, circular compacted or sector-shaped where applicable |
| Core Arrangement | Single-core, three-core and triplex configurations for MV distribution systems |
| Insulation System | Conductor screen, XLPE insulation and insulation screen |
| Metallic Screen | Copper tape screen or copper wire screen with continuity options |
| Armor and Sheath | SWA, STA, AWA, PVC, PE, LSZH and water-blocking options by route condition |
MV Cable Voltage Range and Technical Data
XWA manufactures medium voltage power cable for distribution and industrial systems from 3.6/6kV to 26/35(40.5)kV. IEC 60502-2 is normally used for extruded-insulation power cables from 6kV up to 30kV rated voltage classes. For 26/35(40.5)kV systems, XWA confirms the applicable project, utility or local specification before finalizing the cable construction.
