AL/XLPE/CWS/STA/PVC Three Core Power Cable 18/30kV

Share:

The AL/XLPE/CWS/STA/PVC three-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 aluminium conductor). It adopts aluminium conductors, XLPE insulation, copper wire screen (CWS), steel tape armour (STA), and PVC outer sheath, delivering a cost-efficient and mechanically protected solution for high medium-voltage underground distribution systems.

 

The three-core structure is suitable for balanced three-phase networks, while the STA layer provides reliable resistance to external mechanical stress and soil pressure, making it suitable for direct burial and long-term underground operation.

Construction
Applications

The 18/30kV aluminium STA three-core cable is widely used in medium-voltage underground systems where both electrical performance and mechanical protection are required. It is commonly selected for cost-sensitive infrastructure projects with long service life expectations.

Typical applications include:

Underground MV distribution networks

Substation feeder and outgoing circuits

Industrial power distribution systems

Urban utility backbone networks

Road, railway, and tunnel crossings

Renewable energy collection and evacuation systems

Direct buried cable routes in protected trenches

FAQ
Q1
Why use a 3-core 18/30kV cable instead of three single-core cables?
A1

It’s easier to install. All three phases are in one cable, so less trench space and fewer laying steps.

Q2
Is installation more difficult for 3-core STA cables?
A2

Slightly. The cable is heavier and less flexible than single-core, so drum handling and pulling need more care.

Q3
Can this cable be laid directly in trenches?
A3

Yes, but trench bedding must be well prepared to avoid stress on the outer sheath and armour.

Q4
Does the 3-core design affect bending during installation?
A4

Yes. It needs a larger bending radius and smoother routing compared to single-core cables.

Q5
Why is 3-core often used in urban MV projects?
A5

It saves space and reduces installation complexity, especially where routes are tight.

Q6
Is there any difference in electrical behavior vs single-core systems?
A6

The phases are more compact, so external magnetic field is lower and system layout is simpler.
