The regional power Grid in the North-East of England, Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire is operated by Northern Powergrid (NPG).
Providing power to 8 million people in 2.9 million homes, new sub-main developments on Northern Powergrid networks are installed by NERS registers ICPs and IDNOs, using cables manufactured under G81 approvals against strict specifications.
NPG cables are supplied in 6.35/11kV and 19/33kV voltages, available in a limited range where both core and screen sizes and material configurations are tightly controlled.
The NPG 11kV cable is supplied in triplex formation - 3 single cores wound together (rather than a 3-core cable under a collective sheathing) in 95mm2, 185mm2 and 300mm2 conductor area sizes.
The NPG 33kV is a single core cable in 500mm2, 630mm2 and 800mm2 sizes.
Full technical specifications are available in PDF datasheets for download. Our Utilities industry experts are on hand to provide additional support where required.
