XHIE Cable Medium Voltage Cable 8.7/15 (17.5kV) 25mm² to 630mm²

Description

XHIE are single-core and three-core medium voltage power cables with copper conductors. The cables feature cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, a copper tape metallic screen, and a polyethylene (PE) outer sheath. They are manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2 and generally comply with HD 620 requirements. The cable designations follow Portuguese standards. These medium voltage cables are available in the following rated voltages: 3.6/6 kV, 6/10 kV, 8.7/15 kV, 12/20 kV, and 18/30 kV.

XHIE cable is designed for industrial power distribution within power stations and sub stations. It is suitable for internal or external installations in open air on cable trays, or underground in ducts or directly buried in free draining soil. The polyethylene outer sheath provides a robust barrier with high resistance to abrasion, ultraviolet radiation, and environmental exposure.
