AXLJ-F and FXLJ-F cables

Forming part of Eland Cables’ portfolio of power cables, the AXLJ-F and FXLJ-F cables are specifically for the Swedish market, meeting the standards SS 424 14 16 and SS 424 14 75. With a rated voltage of 12/20kV, these medium voltage cables are available with either aluminium conductors (AXLJ-F) or copper conductors (FXLJ-F).

As with most medium voltage cables, the AXLJ-F and FXLJ-F are designed for external use, suitable for laying direct in the ground. The cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation provides protection for the conductors and permits a maximum operating temperature of +90^oC. Their polyethylene (PE) outer sheath offers resistance to water ingress, abrasions, and oils, providing a robust layer of environmental protection. For additional waterblocking protection there are the AXLJ-F-TT variants, with watertight conductors (swellable yarns or powders in the interstices of the stranded conductor) to prevent longitudinal water ingress, and with a radial aluminium/polyethylene laminate tape to prevent water access from sheath damage.

In addition to direct burial installations, the AXLJ-F and FXLJ-F cables can be installed hanging between poles and pylons. In most cases, overhead applications would be guided towards the AXLJ-F due to the lightweight nature of aluminium over copper conductors.

Both the AXLJ-F and FXLJ-F cables are available in sizes and core configurations other than those stated upon the datasheets and in other voltage ratings including 6/10kV and 18/30kV upon request. Variations in metallic screen size CSA also provided to suit installation demands. It should be noted that that AXLJ-F TT 3 core cable (12/20kV) is triangular in shape rather than circular, with fillers supporting that shape.
