YJLV22 Low-Voltage Armored Power Cable

Product Overview

YJLV22 is a low-voltage aluminum-core power cable designed for stationary installations requiring enhanced mechanical protection and stable long-distance operation. It typically features stranded aluminum conductors insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a steel tape armor layer for compression resistance, and a durable PVC outer sheath for field installation. YJLV22 is widely used in underground conduits, cable trenches, protective trenches, and building access lines, where external pressures, backfill stresses, and installation and handling risks are higher than standard indoor cable tray lines.

For cross-border buyers, YJLV22 is a cost-effective low-voltage armored cable suitable for infrastructure and industrial power distribution, especially in applications involving large cross-sections and long-distance transmission; aluminum-core cables offer an economical option.

Key Sourcing Advantages

• Cost advantage for large-size and long-distance cabling

  Aluminum conductors reduce material costs. YJLV22 cables, when correctly selected based on current and voltage drop, provide reliable low-voltage power distribution performance for long-distance feeders.

• Steel Wire Armored Circuit Protection

  Steel wire armor enhances resistance to external pressure and compression, thereby improving the reliability of pipes, trenches, and underground passages.

• XLPE Insulation Ensures Stable Electrical Performance

  XLPE insulation provides reliable dielectric strength and thermal properties suitable for continuous load feeders.

• PVC Sheath Ensures Practicality and Durability

  The PVC outer sheath is abrasion-resistant and facilitates fixed installation work.

• Easy Procurement for EPC Contractors and Distributors

  A universal size range, export packaging, and consistent construction facilitate bill of materials matching and phased delivery.

Manufacturing and Process Notes

1. Aluminum Conductor Preparation

   The aluminum stranded wire is controlled to ensure stable resistance targets and flexibility during installation.

2. XLPE Insulation Extrusion and Crosslinking

   The insulation layer is extruded and crosslinked to form a durable dielectric layer suitable for low-voltage distribution.

3. Core Assembly and Marking

   The core is marked and laminated in a controlled geometry to maintain roundness and improve pull-out properties.

4. Steel Pad Formation

   Steel pads are laid to protect the core bundles and provide a stable base for the armor.

5. Steel Strip Armoring

   Steel strips are wound in a spiral and overlapped in a controlled manner to provide mechanical reinforcement, primarily resisting compression and external pressure.

6. PVC Sheath and Marking

   A PVC sheath is extruded to protect the inner layers and then marked for traceability and project control.

7. Routine Quality Inspections

   Typical inspections include conductor resistance, insulation thickness verification, spark testing, voltage testing, dimensional inspection, and sheath integrity.

Selection Guide

• When a project requires armored low-voltage cables for underground or protected lines, and the cost of aluminum core is acceptable, choose YJLV22. Optimization.
• Carefully select the aluminum conductor size based on current, distance, grouping, ambient temperature, and allowable voltage drop.
• Confirm the termination method and connector requirements for the aluminum conductors in the project to ensure long-term connection stability.
• Specify the wiring type and recommended reel length to reduce the number of joints and speed up installation.

FAQ

What are the main uses of YJLV22?

It is used for cost-effective low-voltage power distribution and provides armored protection. It is commonly used in underground cable trenches, protective trenches, and utility corridors to power building and industrial feeders.

Why choose aluminum conductors instead of copper conductors?

Aluminum conductors reduce the cost of long-distance and large-section lines. Proper sizing and termination are crucial for reliable performance.

What does 22 typically represent?

In many naming systems, it indicates steel tape armored construction. Always follow the definitions in the reference standards.

Can YJLV22 be used for direct burial?

It is typically used for conduits and protective trenches. The suitability for direct burial depends on local regulations, soil conditions, and mechanical risks. Please provide line details for proper selection.

What are the most commonly used specifications?

4-core and 5-core cables of 25 to 95 mm² are commonly used for distribution. Single-core cables of 150 to 240 mm² are commonly used for high-current feeders, depending on the load and distance.
