Product Features
- Lower installed conductor cost: Aluminium is well suited to long feeders and larger distribution circuits where space permits a larger conductor cross-section.
- Reduced cable weight: The lighter conductor simplifies drum handling, cable pulling and support loading on long routes.
- XLPE insulation: Provides strong electrical properties and supports a 90°C maximum conductor temperature in normal service.
- Protective PVC sheath: Resists normal abrasion, moisture and environmental exposure in fixed installations.
- Broad size range: Single-core sizes extend from 1.5 to 630 mm², with two-core sizes from 1.5 to 185 mm² in the listed range.
- Flexible installation options: Suitable for cable trays, conduits, ducts, shafts, service tunnels and protected underground routes.
Cable Construction
|
Component |
Description |
|
Conductor |
Solid, stranded or compacted aluminium conductor selected according to cable size and applicable conductor class. |
|
Insulation |
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) providing the primary 0.6/1 kV electrical insulation. |
|
Core assembly |
Two insulated conductors assembled into a stable cable core in two-core constructions. |
|
Outer sheath |
PVC sheath providing mechanical and environmental protection for fixed installation. |
|
Cable type |
Unarmoured YJLV construction; external mechanical protection is required where impact or crushing is possible. |
Typical Applications
- Industrial distribution: Feeds switchboards, motor-control centres, workshops and fixed production equipment.
- Commercial buildings: Connects main and sub-distribution boards across long internal service routes.
- Infrastructure projects: Supports power distribution in transport facilities, water plants, warehouses and municipal installations.
- Renewable-energy facilities: Provides AC-side auxiliary and distribution connections for solar and energy-storage projects.
- Utility service routes: Offers a lower-weight conductor solution for ducts, cable tunnels and protected external feeders.
- Large fixed loads: Supplies HVAC equipment, pumps and other stationary loads where the termination system is designed for aluminium conductors.
Selection Guide
- Load current: Use the aluminium-cable ampacity table for the actual installation method. Do not select YJLV using a copper-cable cross-section table.
- Voltage drop: Aluminium has higher resistance than copper at the same cross-section. Long feeders commonly require a larger aluminium conductor.
- Short-circuit withstand: Check conductor thermal withstand against the maximum prospective fault current and protective-device clearing time.
- Installation derating: Apply correction factors for ambient temperature, grouping, conduit, soil conditions and thermal insulation.
- Termination compatibility: Use terminals, lugs and glands rated for aluminium conductors and for the cable's conductor class and shape.
- Mechanical exposure: Standard YJLV is unarmoured. Add conduit, ducts, covers or another protective method where impact, crushing or high tensile load is possible.
- Fire requirements: The standard PVC sheath is not a low-smoke zero-halogen construction. Use a dedicated cable design when LSZH performance is required.
