Rated Voltage 1.8/3kV XLPE Insulated Power Cable

Standards
This product is manufactured in accordance with national and industry standards to meet the operational requirements of power systems.

National Standard:
GB/T 12706.1 Cables for rated voltages from 1kV (Um=1.2kV) to 3kV (Um=3.6kV)

Other Standards:
According to user requirements, the cable can also be manufactured based on IEC international standards or specific industry specifications, such as MT818 standards for coal mine cables.

Application Scope
Cables with this voltage level are widely used in fixed installation environments where high reliability of power supply is required. Typical application scenarios include:

• Industrial power distribution systems: Suitable for distribution networks in industrial installations with rated voltages up to 1.8/3kV, particularly for power supply connections of large motors and variable frequency equipment.

• Mining and energy sectors: Applicable for power supply lines installed in coal mine underground environments and surface installations when equipped with flame-retardant sheath structures, enabling adaptation to complex operating conditions.

• Long-distance power transmission: Compared with 0.6/1kV cables, cables of the same conductor cross-section can transmit electricity over longer distances while reducing line losses.

• Installation environments: Suitable for indoor installation, tunnels, cable trenches, vertical shafts, and direct burial applications. Armored or non-armored types can be selected according to the installation environment.

Operating Characteristics
• Rated Voltage:
The power frequency rated voltage U0/U is 1.8/3kV.

• Operating Temperature:
The maximum permissible long-term operating temperature of the cable conductor is 90°C, providing strong load carrying capability.

• Short-Circuit Temperature:
During short-circuit conditions (maximum duration not exceeding 5 seconds), the maximum conductor temperature shall not exceed 250°C, maintaining thermal stability under extreme conditions.

• Installation Temperature:
The ambient temperature during cable installation shall not be lower than 0°C. If installation occurs below this temperature, preheating measures are required.

• Minimum Bending Radius:
The minimum allowable bending radius of the cable shall not be less than 15 times the cable outer diameter, supporting convenient installation during construction.

• Electrical Performance:
The cable features low dielectric loss and high insulation resistance, and the AC withstand voltage test standard is higher than that of standard low-voltage cables.

Cable Structure
The product adopts a multi-layer composite structural design to support safe and stable operation over long-term service:

1. Conductor: High-purity copper or aluminum conductor compliant with GB/T 3956, providing high electrical conductivity.

2. Insulation Layer: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, with insulation thickness optimized according to the voltage level and providing stable dielectric performance.

3. Filling and Binding: Non-hygroscopic filling materials maintain cable roundness, while non-woven binding tape secures the cable cores.

4. Inner Sheath (Optional): Used to separate the armored layer from insulated cores and prevent mechanical damage.

5. Armoring Layer (Optional): Steel tape armoring for compression resistance or steel wire armoring for tensile strength, enhancing mechanical protection.

6. Outer Sheath: PVC or PE sheath with resistance to corrosion, aging, and flame propagation.

Main Technical Parameters
• Conductor DC Resistance:
Complies with GB/T 3956 requirements at 20°C.

• AC Withstand Voltage Test:
Test voltage 6.5kV, duration 5 minutes, without breakdown.
This value is higher than the 3.5kV standard applied to 0.6/1kV cables.

• Partial Discharge:
At 1.73U0, the maximum partial discharge value does not exceed the specified limit, ensuring that the insulation system is free from defects.

Current Carrying Capacity and Installation Correction
The current carrying capacity of cables is affected by factors such as installation environment (air or soil), ambient temperature, soil thermal resistivity, and installation method.

• Installation in air:
Reference ambient temperature 40°C, maximum long-term conductor temperature 90°C.

• Installation in soil:
Reference soil temperature 25°C, soil thermal resistivity 2.0K·m/W, direct burial depth 0.7m.

• Correction factors:
In practical engineering applications, current-carrying capacity should be adjusted according to ambient temperature, soil temperature, and multiple parallel cable installations by consulting the corresponding correction factor tables to maintain safe cable operation without overload conditions.
