Low Voltage Cable Range

Our 0.6/1kV low voltage power cable portfolio covers multiple constructions for different mechanical protection and installation requirements. Select the cable family according to the installation route and operating environment.

Unarmoured Cable

Designed for protected fixed installations such as cable trays, conduits, ducts and indoor power distribution where additional mechanical armour is not required.

STA Armoured Cable

Steel tape armour provides additional protection against radial mechanical pressure, making it suitable for underground, trench and industrial fixed installations.

SWA Armoured Cable

Steel wire armour provides stronger mechanical and tensile protection for demanding underground and infrastructure installations.

AWA Armoured Cable

Aluminium wire armour is particularly suitable for single-core AC power cables where a non-magnetic armour system is required.

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.

How to Select a 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable

Cable selection should be based on the electrical load, installation method and operating environment rather than voltage rating alone.

Project Requirement Typical Cable Option Selection Consideration
Protected indoor installation Unarmoured LV cable Suitable for trays, conduits and protected routes
Underground with mechanical pressure STA armoured cable Additional radial mechanical protection
Underground or demanding installation SWA armoured cable Higher mechanical and tensile protection
Single-core AC circuit requiring armour AWA armoured cable Non-magnetic aluminium armour
Higher operating temperature XLPE insulation Typically selected for higher thermal performance
Standard general distribution PVC or XLPE construction Selected according to project specification and budget
Public or enclosed areas LSZH option Helps meet smoke and corrosive gas requirements where specified
Outdoor or buried installation Project-specific sheath protection UV, moisture, termite or rodent-resistant options can be specified

Zhongdong Cable's engineering team can review cable schedules, installation conditions and project standards before production to help determine the appropriate conductor, insulation, armour and sheath combination.

Low Voltage Cable Construction Options

Conductor

Copper or electrical-grade aluminum conductors can be selected according to conductivity, cable weight and project budget. Conductor construction can be matched to the required IEC specification.

Insulation

XLPE is commonly selected where higher thermal performance is required, while PVC and other material systems can be supplied according to operating conditions and project standards.

Outer Sheath

PVC, PE and LSZH sheath options are available to address indoor, outdoor, underground and safety-related installation requirements.

Mechanical Protection

Low voltage power cables can be supplied as unarmoured, steel tape armoured, steel wire armoured or aluminium wire armoured constructions depending on cable route and mechanical loading.

Special requirements including flame-retardant, fire-resistant, water-resistant, anti-termite, anti-rodent and customized sheath solutions can also be evaluated according to the project specification.

Custom Low Voltage Cable Manufacturing

Different projects require different conductor sizes, materials, cable constructions and documentation. Zhongdong Cable supports project-specific low voltage cable manufacturing rather than limiting buyers to a small number of standard configurations.

Customization can include conductor material, number of cores, conductor cross-section, insulation and sheath compounds, armour type, cable marking, sheath colour, drum length, packaging and project documentation.

For tender and EPC requirements, buyers can submit cable schedules, technical datasheets, BOQs or project specifications for engineering review before quotation and production.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

Founded in 2006, Zhongdong Cable operates a 67,000 m² manufacturing facility supported by 30+ production lines, 35+ testing equipment sets, 38+ senior engineers and 50+ patents.

Low Voltage Cable FAQ

What voltage does this low voltage cable range cover?

This category primarily covers 0.6/1kV (600/1000V) low voltage power cables for fixed power distribution systems. Medium- and high-voltage cables are covered by separate product categories.

Should I choose copper or aluminum conductor LV cable?

Copper provides high conductivity and allows a smaller conductor for a given electrical requirement, while aluminum can reduce cable weight and material cost. Selection should consider ampacity, installation conditions, conductor size and total project cost.

When should an armoured low voltage cable be used?

Armoured cable is generally selected where the cable may be exposed to mechanical pressure, pulling forces or underground installation risks. STA, SWA and AWA constructions provide different forms of mechanical protection and should be selected according to the installation method.

Can Zhongdong manufacture customized low voltage power cables?

Yes. Conductor material, insulation, sheath, armour, number of cores, cable size, marking, packaging and special protection requirements can be customized according to the project specification.

What information is required before ordering?

Provide the rated voltage, conductor material, number of cores, cross-sectional area, insulation, sheath, armour type, applicable standard, installation environment and required quantity. A cable schedule or technical specification is the preferred reference for project orders.

STA Armoured Cable

As a major pillar of our Low Voltage Cable range, the STA Armoured Cable collection is specifically developed for fixed installations requiring reliable mechanical protection. Double layers of galvanized steel tape armour (STA) effectively resist external radial pressure and soil compression, making this low voltage steel tape armoured cable line the most economical choice for direct underground burial, cable trenches, and heavy-traffic industrial grids.

♦ Standards: IEC 60502-1, BS 5467

♦ Cores: 1 Core, 3 Cores, 4 Cores, 5 Cores

♦ 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 meet your project's specific temperature and waterproofing needs.

♦ Optional Upgrade: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) compounds are available upon request for both insulation and sheathing layers to comply with advanced public safety mandates.

 

Key Advantages

♦ Anti-Eddy Current Setup: Conventional steel tape on single-core lines generates magnetic loop heating. Therefore, all 1-Core cables in this series feature non-magnetic Stainless Steel Tape Armor (SSTA) to completely eliminate eddy current losses while retaining full physical protection.

♦ Subterranean Defense: The rigid steel armor shell disperses heavy vertical loads from soil backfills and surface traffic, while providing an impenetrable shield against rodent and termite penetration in direct burial environments.

♦ Flexible Factory Customization: Fully supporting our factory's flexible compound system, you can freely cross-match conductors (CU/AL) with multiple insulation/jacket layouts across 1 to 5 cores to fit diverse engineering budgets.

 

Application Guideline

♦ Choose STA: Ideal for direct underground burial, cable trenches, and humid environments requiring moderate mechanical crush protection.

♦ Choose SWA: STA is not recommended for environments with frequent bending, vertical suspension, or high-tensile stretching risks. For high-tensile engineering, please refer to our SWA armoured cable series.
