E-2XHC2Y, E-2XHCJ2Y & E-2XHCJA2Y Cables

The E-2XHC2Y, E-2XHCJ2Y & E-2XHCJA2Y Cables are part of Eland Cables' European Medium Voltage portfolio, using the Austrian nomenclature for cable referencing. They are the same construction as the N2XS2Y, N2XS(F)2Y and N2XS(FL)2Y cables.

E-2XHC2Y Cable standards

The E-2XC2Y cable and its variants with additional waterblocking, are manufactured in accordance with International standard IEC 60502-2, for power cables with extruded solid insulation and a rated voltage of between 6kV and 30kV. They are also compliant with HD620 10A, the Harmonisation Document relating to cables with extruded insulation between 6kV and 36kV, with Part 10 being specific to single core and three-core cables with XLPE insulation and either PE or PVC sheathing.

E-2XHC2Y / E-2XHCJ2Y / E-2XHCJA2Y voltage rating

The standard voltage rating for this range is as follows:
6/10 (12)kV – Test Voltage 21kV
8.7/15 (17.5)kV – Test Voltage 30.45kV
12/20 (24)kV – Test Voltage 42kV
18/30 (36)kV – Test Voltage 63kV

E-2XHC2Y, E-2XHCJ2Y, and E-2XHCJA2Y Cable Construction and Specification

These single core Class 2 stranded Copper cables are designed for primary power distribution networks. With the robust MDPE outer sheathing, they offer protection against UV exposure, impact, abrasions and tears. They can be buried directly in the ground without the need for cable containment, although in practice they are more commonly installed in cable ducts. 

The E-2XHCJ2Y cable benefits from an additional longitudinal waterblocking layer in the form of swellable tape wrapped over and under the metallic screen. The E-2XHCJA2Y cable also has a radial waterblocking layer of Aluminium Foil tape bonded tightly to the underside of the sheathing, preventing water ingress in the event the sheath is compromised and pierced.
