XHIOV & LXHIOV Cables

Eland Cables' portfolio of Medium Voltage cables using the Portuguese naming codes includes the XHIOV and LXHIOV PVC cables. Copper wire screened and with copper (XHIOV) or aluminium (LXHIOV) conductors at their core, they are available in voltages of 6kV, 10kV, 15kV, 20kV and 30kV.

XLPE insulation provides for a +90^oC operating temperature whilst the PVC outer sheath gives a flame retardant covering that meets the requirements of IEC 60332-1-2. PVC sheathing offers good resistance to everyday environmental challenges and the cable is UV resistant. As such it can be used internally or externally. 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.

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.

These cables are manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2, the international standard for medium voltage cables, but are referenced using Portuguese designations. 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.
