XHIOAE, XHIO1AE, LXHIOAE & LXHIO1AE Cables

XHIOAE, XHIO1AE, LXHIOAE & LXHIO1AE are Copper and Aluminium conductor Medium Voltage cables with the mechanical protection of a double layer tape armour. They are referenced under Portuguese cable nomenclature.

XHIOAE, XHIO1AE, LXHIOAE & LXHIO1AE Cable Specification

As with the wire armour equivalents XHIORE & LXHIORE, the multicore (3-core) XHIOAE and LXHIOAE cables are reinforced with steel tape whilst the single core XHIO1AE & LXHIO1AE have an aluminium tape armour to prevent magnetic fields being created. 

The XHIOAE and LXHIOAE also have a copper tape and wire screen sitting underneath the inner sheath and armour, all of which is enveloped in a Polyethylene sheath. This PE outer layer is robust and abrasion resistant, suitable for installation externally including in cable ducts. It should be noted that Polyethylene is not flame retardant - should this be a consideration, the PVC XHIOAV and aluminium equivalent should be reviewed. 

XHIOAE, XHIO1AE, LXHIOAE & LXHIO1AE Cable Voltages

Both Copper and Aluminium variants are available in voltages of 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV, 8.7/15kV, 12/20kV and 18/30kV. The cables are supplied in a range of core cross-sectional sizes.

As Medium Voltage cables, they are manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2. All our MV cables are extensively tested - both for individual constructional layers and the completed cable on the drum - to confirm quality and compliance. It gives comfort and confidence that the cables that arrive on site for installation are fully fit for purpose.

For support with specification or for specific cable questions, our Technical Team are on hand to provide assistance, whilst our International team can provide Portuguese language support as needed, both with regards to this range and our wider cable portfolio.
