3.6/6kV Cables

3.6/6kV Voltage Cables

Cables with a rated voltage of 3.6/6kV under IEC 60502-2 are generally specified for equipment connections. Like other Medium Voltage cables, they are available in both armoured and unarmoured constructions, and with a range of outer sheathing materials across MDPE, PVC and LSZH materials depending on the application demands and installation parameters.

6kV Cable Applications

In addition to general equipment power connections, 6kV cables are commonly specified in mining equipment, where power cables with fibre optic, ground check conductors, and submersible variants are available. These same mining cables often have a robust rubber outer sheath that offers flexibility and durability as demanded by the environment and the dynamic equipment.

Voltage 6kV is also used in other power projects, commonly with a UV-resistant PE sheathing for external installation, and a flame retardant PVC sheathing for some applicable internal installations. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) materials are also available where required for installations where the protection of life or sensitive equipment is paramount. 

Technical Support for 3.6/6kV Cable Projects

Specifying Medium Voltage cables of any voltage requires tightly tailored technical parameters that can best suit the performance demands, the installation design, and the environmental challenges that will be placed on it during lifetime service. Our technical team is happy to support specifications under IEC 60502-2. Guidance and assistance can be provided for national / country-specific standards for 3.6/6kV cables - whether using the German/Austrian referencing (N = Copper NA = Aluminium), Portuguese naming conventions (X = Copper LX = Aluminium) or any other geo-specific nomenclatures. 

In the event the cable you require is not listed in the below technical datasheets, please contact the team for a quote and we will be happy to supply the required information.
