XHIOV & LXHIOV Cables

Eland Cables' extended portfolio of Medium Voltage cables includes IEC standard cables using the Portuguese nomenclature. This includes the XHIOV and LXHIOV PVC sheathed cables, with copper wire screening and with copper (XHIOV) or aluminium (LXHIOV) conductors at their core.

XHIOV & LXHIOV Cable Specification

These MV cables are designed for power transmission and distribution, supporting both grid networks and industrial equipment. They are suitable for both direct burial and installation in air. The PVC outer sheathing is flame retardant to IEC 60332-1-2 as well as being UV resistant, so the cables can be installed both internally as well as externally. The XLPE insulation provides for a +90^oC operating temperature. Where additional protection from water ingress is required, perhaps as a result of sitting in waterlogged ducts, single (be) and dual (cbe) layers of waterblocking tape and yarns can be included in the construction.

XHIOV & LXHIOV Cable Voltage Ratings

Both the XHIOV and LXHIOV cables are available in a broad range of voltages to support different applications as required:

• 3.6/6kV
• 6/10kV
• 8.7/15kV
• 12/20kV
• 18/30kV

These cables are manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2, the international standard for medium voltage cables, and in accordance with HD620 standard, but are referenced using Portuguese designations. The XHIOV & LXHIOV cables are also available with copper tape screening (XHIV) and with additional mechanical protection from aluminium or steel wire armouring (XHIORV). PE sheathing equivalent cables including the XHIOE & LXHIOE are also available within the range.

Where support is required, either in Portuguese language or in order to transpose these references to other naming conventions to provide parity, please speak to our international team who will be happy to support the enquiry.
