General Description & Application
Medium voltage cables are electrical cables designed to transmit electrical power at voltage levels ranging from 1kV up to 72kV. These cables are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications to connect power sources such as transformers, generators, and substations to loads such as motors, lighting systems, and other equipment. These cables consist of one or more conductors made of copper or aluminum, surrounded by layers of insulation and protective sheathing. The insulation material used can vary depending on the specific application and environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and chemical exposure. Some common insulation materials include cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), etc.
Medium voltage cables can be designed for both underground and overhead installations, and may be armored or unarmored depending on the application requirements. Armored cables are typically used in applications where mechanical protection is required, while unarmored cables are used in less demanding applications.
Overall, medium voltage cables are critical components of modern electrical systems, providing a safe and reliable means of transmitting electrical power over long distances.
