0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Distribution Series
♦ This series is designed for secondary grids, heavy industrial plants, and commercial buildings at 0.6/1kV.
♦ Conductor and Insulation Combinations
♦ Conductors: high-purity electrolytic copper (CU) or electrical-grade aluminum (AL).
♦ Insulation and sheath materials can be selected independently. The factory supports mainstream combinations of PVC, PE, and XLPE to meet project requirements for temperature resistance, waterproofing, and mechanical protection.
♦ Specific selection depends on project ampacity, ambient temperature, and installation budget. For example: 90°C thermal rating or enhanced underground waterproofing — both achievable through material combinations.
♦ Mechanical Protection and Optional Upgrades
♦ Standard configurations include non-armoured and heavy armoured designs. Optional add-ons:
♦ - LSZH compounds for enclosed public areas
♦ - Mica-tape fire-resistant (FR) barriers for emergency circuits
♦ - Anti-termite / anti-rodent chemical sheaths for direct burial or outdoor environments
♦ Compliance
♦ All cables comply with **IEC 60502-1** . Third-party test reports available upon request.
AWA Armoured Cable
Positioned as a specialized solution within our Low Voltage Cable catalog, this AWA Armoured Cable line is specifically optimized for high-current, single-core alternating current (AC) systems. By utilizing non-magnetic aluminium wire armour (AWA), this series provides reliable mechanical protection while completely eliminating the inductive eddy current heating caused by ferrous metals on single cores, making it the premier choice for heavy-power infrastructure.
♦ Standards: IEC 60502-1, BS 5467
♦ Cores: 1 Core Only (Note: For multicore 3-5 core layouts, please view our STA / SWA series)
♦ Conductors: Premium Oxygen-Free Copper (CU) or Electrical-Grade Aluminum (AL)
♦ Material Matrix: Insulation and sheath materials can be selected independently among PVC, PE, and XLPE to balance long-term continuous ampacity and environmental protection.
♦ Optional Upgrade: To combat harsh outdoor exposure, our factory provides optional moisture-blocked swelling tapes and specialized UV-stabilized jackets to offer advanced dual-layer defense against severe outdoor weather aging.
Key Advantages
♦ Zero Eddy Current Waste: The non-magnetic aluminum armor wire isolates (alternating electromagnetic fields). This prevents dangerous localized loop heat buildup, maximizing electrical transmission efficiency in high-current single-core lines.
♦ Advanced Weight Reduction: Compared to heavy steel wire armor, the high-conductivity aluminum grid drastically lowers the overall cable weight, heavily reducing installation effort, rigging tension, and infrastructure crane costs.
♦ Balanced Mechanical Defense: While remaining cool-running, the AWA layer delivers exceptional compression resistance and longitudinal tensile backbone, acting as a lifetime shield against subterranean rodents, termites, and sharp backfills.
Application Guideline
♦ Choose AWA: Crucial for heavy generator-to-transformer links, urban primary AC substations, high-density industrial feeder trays, and coastal utility networks.
♦ Alternatives: SWA and STA are strictly forbidden for high-current single-core AC lines. For multicore power loops requiring mechanical protection, please see our STA steel tape or SWA steel wire armoured series.
