The CU/XLPE/CTS/AWA/PVC single-core power cable 8.7/15kV manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed in accordance with IEC 60502-2 and IEC 60228 (Class 1 or Class 2 copper conductor). It features copper conductor, XLPE insulation, copper tape screen (CTS), aluminium wire armour (AWA), and PVC outer sheath, providing reliable electrical performance with additional mechanical protection for medium-voltage applications.
The aluminium wire armour offers good mechanical protection while maintaining a lighter structure compared with steel armoured cables, making it suitable for underground installations where weight control and protection are both important.

Aluminium wire armour provides mechanical protection with lower weight and avoids magnetic losses, which is especially suitable for single-core AC cables.
Yes, but proper spacing and installation methods should be considered to maintain current carrying capacity and thermal performance.
The recommended minimum bending radius is generally 15 × overall cable diameter during installation and 12 × diameter for fixed installation.
The XLPE insulation allows continuous conductor operation up to 90°C, with short-circuit temperature up to 250°C for 5 seconds.
Yes. The AWA layer provides mechanical protection for underground applications when installed with proper trench preparation.
Cable arrangement and phase spacing should be considered carefully to reduce heating effects and ensure stable operation.
