NA2XY vs YJLV – Naming Convention
| Designation | Standard | Region | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| NA2XY | European / IEC | International | N = Standard (VDE) / A = Aluminum conductor / 2X = XLPE insulation / Y = PVC sheath |
| YJLV | Chinese / GB | China | YJ = XLPE insulation / L = Aluminum conductor / V = PVC sheath |
*Both designations refer to the same cable construction: Aluminum conductor, XLPE insulation, PVC sheath, rated 0.6/1kV .*
Why Choose Aluminum (NA2XY/YJLV) Over Copper?
| Feature | Aluminum (NA2XY/YJLV) | Copper |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | ~50% lighter | Heavier |
| Material Cost | 40-60% lower | Higher |
| Conductivity (% IACS) | ~61% | 100% |
| Required size for same ampacity | Approximately 1.5-2 sizes larger | Smaller |
| Corrosion resistance | Good (native oxide layer) | Very good |
| Termination | Requires aluminum-rated lugs | Standard lugs work |
| Flexibility | Good (Class 2 stranded) | Excellent |
Why Choose XLPE Insulation Over PVC?
| Feature | XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) | PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous operating temperature | 90°C | 70°C |
| Emergency overload temperature | 130°C | 100°C |
| Short circuit temperature | 250°C | 160°C |
| Current carrying capacity | Higher (due to higher temperature rating) | Lower |
| Dielectric strength | Excellent | Good |
| Moisture resistance | Excellent | Good |
| Environmental impact | Lower (no halogens in insulation) | Higher (contains chlorine) |
Installation Guidelines
Preparation
Inspect the cable for any damage to the PVC sheath before installation
Store cables on clean, dry reels, protected from direct sunlight and moisture
Preheat the cable if ambient temperature is below 0°C – cold cable can crack the PVC sheath
Pulling and Bending
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum bending radius (single core, unarmoured) | 20 × overall diameter |
| Maximum pulling tension | Approximately 15 × conductor cross-section (mm²) in Newtons |
| Sidewall pressure limit | Consult engineering datasheet for specific values |
Termination
Use connectors rated for aluminum – standard copper lugs can cause galvanic corrosion and loose connections
Apply anti-oxidant compound to conductor surfaces before termination
Use torque wrench to ensure proper tightening – aluminum requires more precise torque than copper
Testing After Installation
Perform high voltage test at 3.5kV DC for 15 minutes (per IEC 60502-1)
Check continuity of all conductors
Verify insulation resistance (minimum 100 MΩ)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does NA2XY mean?
A: NA2XY is the European designation: N = Standard (VDE), A = Aluminum conductor, 2X = XLPE insulation, Y = PVC sheath .
Q: What does YJLV mean?
A: YJLV is the Chinese designation: YJ = XLPE insulation, L = Aluminum conductor, V = PVC sheath .
Q: Are NA2XY and YJLV the same cable?
A: Yes. They refer to the same construction: aluminum conductor, XLPE insulation, PVC sheath, rated 0.6/1kV. NA2XY is the European naming convention, YJLV is the Chinese naming convention .
Q: What is the temperature rating of the XLPE insulation?
A: XLPE insulation is rated for 90°C continuous operation, 130°C emergency overload, and 250°C short circuit (≤5 seconds) .
Q: Can this cable be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The PVC sheath is UV stabilized for outdoor exposure. However, for direct burial in areas with rodent risk, consider an armoured version (YJLV32 / NA2XY with SWA) .
Q: Is this cable flame retardant?
A: Standard NA2XY/YJLV is not flame retardant. Flame retardant versions are available upon request, complying with IEC 60332-1 or GB/T 18380-3 .
Q: Do you provide free samples?
A: Yes, we provide free samples of NA2XY/YJLV cable. The customer is only responsible for the shipping cost.
Q: Can you provide MTC and COC for this cable?
A: Yes, we provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) and Certificates of Conformance (COC) with every shipment. Sample documents can be provided for your technical team to review.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: MOQ depends on the conductor size. For standard sizes (16mm² to 240mm²), we accept orders as low as 500 meters for trial purposes.
Q: What connectors should I use for aluminum cable termination?
A: Always use connectors specifically rated for aluminum (typically tin-plated or bi-metallic lugs). Apply anti-oxidant compound and use a torque wrench for proper tightening.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: Typical lead time is 15–25 days after deposit confirmation, depending on order quantity and conductor size.
Q: Can I get custom printing on the cable?
A: Yes, we support OEM/ODM orders including custom printing (project name, customer logo, sequential metering, voltage marking).
