The CU/XLPE/CWS/AWA/PVC single-core power cable 18/30kV manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed in accordance with IEC 60502-2 and IEC 60228 (Class 1 or Class 2 copper conductor). It features a copper conductor, XLPE insulation, copper wire screen (CWS), aluminium wire armour (AWA), and PVC outer sheath, providing stable electrical performance and mechanical protection for medium-voltage distribution systems.
The aluminium wire armour offers additional protection against external mechanical stress while maintaining a lightweight, non-magnetic structure, making the cable suitable for single-core AC installations where steel armour is not preferred.

AWA provides mechanical protection while avoiding the magnetic losses that can occur with steel armour in single-core AC cable systems.
The CWS provides a low-resistance grounding path and helps control the electric field around the XLPE insulation.
Yes. The AWA layer improves resistance to external mechanical forces and is suitable for underground installation with proper cable laying conditions.
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 a short-circuit temperature of 250°C for 5 seconds.
Correct cable arrangement, phase spacing, and suitable fixing methods are important to ensure heat dissipation and long-term operating reliability.
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.
