Datasheets

The XHIRV & LXHIRV cables are Portuguese named Armoured Copper and Aluminium conductor medium voltage cables manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2 and HD620.

This range of cables are provided in voltages starting at 3.6/6kV and rising through 6/10kV, 8.7/15kV, and 12/20kV up to 18/30kV as standard. The cable sizes for each voltage are provided in the technical datasheets below.

XHIRV cables are Copper SWA (steel wire armour) 3 core variants, with XHI1RV being the single core AWA Aluminium wire cable sizes. Similarly, LXHIRV and LXHI1RV are Aluminium conductor equivalents with the same armouring depending on single or multicore configurations.

The steel and aluminium wire armouring provides excellent mechanical protection, allowing installations environments including direct burial.

All cables also have a copper wire screen. The PVC sheathing offers a flame retardant outer layer, making it more suited to installations terminating internally than the XHIRE / LXHIRE PE sheathed cables.

X	Copper Conductor
LX	Aluminium Conductor
HI	Metallic Screen - Copper Tape
R	Steel wire armour (for multi-core cables)
1R / 1A	Aluminium armour (for single core cables)
V	Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Outer Sheath

As with all medium voltage cables, our technical experts can provide extensive project support around specification, compatible accessories, and installation environment suitability. Coupled with that, we provide Portuguese language support should that make discussing this specific range of cables more straightforward. Please contact the team who will be happy to assist you.
