1. Product Overview

The 64/110kV high voltage power cable is intended for high-voltage transmission systems with a rated voltage of 64/110kV (U₀/U) and a highest system voltage of 123kV (Uₘ).

The cable uses cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as its main insulation material. Semiconductive screens form part of the high-voltage insulation system to control electrical stress. A welded corrugated aluminium sheath provides a metallic sheath layer, while the outer sheath protects the cable according to the specified construction and installation conditions.

The corrugated aluminium sheath is a key feature of this cable design. Its construction provides a shaped metallic sheath that can accommodate bending requirements according to the cable design. The sheath also forms part of the cable's electrical screening and earthing system, subject to the specified bonding arrangement.

The cable is suitable for high-voltage transmission projects where the specified cable design meets the electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements of the installation.

2. Product Specifications

Final dimensions, material specifications, sheath construction, electrical ratings and testing requirements are subject to the approved technical specification.

3. Cable Construction

The cable construction is based on the following principal layers. The exact materials, dimensions and additional components are defined by the approved product design.

3.1 Copper Conductor

The copper conductor carries the electrical current. Different conductor cross-sections are available to meet project requirements, including 240mm², 300mm², 400mm², 500mm², 630mm² and larger segmented conductor designs.

3.2 Conductor Screen

A semiconductive layer is applied over the conductor to provide a controlled interface between the conductor and the XLPE insulation.

3.3 XLPE Insulation

Cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides the dielectric performance required for the 64/110kV rated voltage.

3.4 Insulation Screen

The semiconductive insulation screen supports electrical stress control around the insulation and forms the interface with the metallic sheath system.

3.5 Welded Corrugated Aluminium Sheath

The welded corrugated aluminium sheath forms a metallic sheath layer around the insulated cable core. Its dimensions and electrical characteristics are considered in the cable's sheath bonding, earthing and installation design.

3.6 Outer Protective Sheath

The outer sheath provides protection against environmental exposure and external influences within the limits of the specified cable design. The exact sheath material and construction should be confirmed against the manufacturer's approved technical documentation.

Additional water-blocking components or other protective layers should be included only when required by the approved cable specification.
