High Voltage Cable

We provide HV cable solutions for buried power distribution designed around the applications and the project specific requirements. This may require unusual quantities or lengths, short production lead-times and/or technically challenging constructions.

Buried HV Cable Solutions

Our standard high voltage cables, to International Standard IEC 60840, which include 2XS(F)2Y, 2XS(FL)2Y, A2XS(F)2Y and A2XS(FL)2Y, are designed for the primary distribution of power on networks with a voltage rating  from 45kV to 132kV.

Subject to the design parameters and installation environment, the metallic screen size and material types can be adapted to best suit the installation bonding arrangements. Additional constructional layers including armour (wires or corrugated tapes) can also be applied.

Our HV cables are suitable for installations providing mechanical protection to the cable. Waterblocking tape options help prevent water ingress and ensure that should the HV cable be damaged, the repair lengths and associated works are kept to a minimum. A high density polyethylene (HDPE) is used as standard and offers a compromise between abrasion resistance and flexibility, however various other options, including MDPE and LSZH materials are available on request.
