POLYCAB - MV Power Cable IEC 60502 2
POLYCAB - MV Power Cable IEC 60502 2
Polycab Medium Voltage High Tension cables of voltage grade ranging from 3.6 kV to 36 kV are widely
used for power distribution, external and direct burial applications in power network system,
underground, in cable ducting and in direct burial condition. These cables are available with XLPE
insulation having temperature rating of 90°C.
These cables are halogen free flame retardant in characteristic and provide continuous load and
Extraprotection from short circuit and Fire.
Conductor: High conductivity annealed plain stranded compacted aluminium / copper conductor
produced in-house from state-of-the art machine.
Conductor Screen: an extruded layer of cross-linkable semi conducting compound to eliminate sharp
points on conductor surface and also nullifies chance of electric discharge at interface between
conductor / insulation
Metallic Screen: a helically applied copper tape screen to carry fault current
Laying Up: in case of 3 cores Cable, insulated cores laid up together with in-house developed fillers
to maintain circularity of cable
Inner Sheath: In-house developed thermoplastic PVC compound/ halogen free compound having low
emission of smoke and corrosive gases when exposed to fire and also ensures circular shape of cable
Armour: Aluminium / Galvanised Steel Round Wire Armoured to give mechanical protection and also
acts as return path for earth fault current
Outer Sheath: In-house developed thermoplastic compound having low emission of smoke and
corrosive gases when exposed to fire.
The construction is based on the application and requirement of the user against IEC 60502-2 / BS
6622.
