XHIV & LXHIV cables form part of the wider portfolio of Portuguese MV Cables for power transmission and distribution. They are manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2 and with standard HD620 and are provided as single cores or three-cores.

The LXHIV aluminium cables will offer a lighter alternative to the Copper XHIV cables, but at the expense of overall diameter sizing, so are considered suitable where no space constraints exist.

Both cables can be buried direct or installed in cable ducts, in line with national regulations.

Both the LXHIV and XHIV are XLPE insulated and sheathed with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). It provides a +90^oC operating temperature and a robust outer sheathing. These cables also have a copper tape screen.

These cables are named using Portuguese references as explained in the table below. It should be noted that under HD620 10L, there is only one option for insulation materials: XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) - hence it not being separately designated.

LX	Aluminium Conductor
HI	Metallic Screen - Copper Tape
V	Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Outer Sheath

The LXHIV and XHIV cables are alternatively offered with Polyethylene (PE) sheathing, where the cable reference is LXHIE and XHIE, as well as with varying constructions including copper wire screens (LXHIOV/ XHIOV) and with armour for additional mechanical protection.

Our XHIV (copper conductor) and LXHIV (aluminium conductor) cables are available in a range of voltages. These include 6/10kV, 8.7/15kV, 12/20kV and 18/30kV, to support a wide range of power applications and installations.

Please refer to the datasheets for more information or speak to a member of the team about your specific project requirements. We have Portuguese speakers on hand to help.
