The Medium Voltage Armoured Power Cable 3x240 mm² Aluminium, 12/20kV is specifically designed for high-performance energy transmission in demanding environments. Constructed with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a galvanized steel wire armour (SWA), this cable offers excellent thermal stability, electrical properties, and mechanical protection.
The aluminium conductor provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining efficient conductivity, and the armour ensures safe operation even under mechanical stress, making it ideal for direct burial and harsh underground conditions.
This cable complies with international and regional standards such as IEC 60502-2, and is commonly used in utility grids, substations, and industrial facilities.
This 12/20kV armoured medium voltage cable is used in:
Underground power transmission lines
Urban and rural distribution networks
Substations and power plants
Industrial complexes and infrastructure projects
Renewable energy installations (e.g., wind and solar farms)
It is suitable for direct burial, duct installation, or areas exposed to mechanical stress and requiring long service life and reliability.

FAQs
1. Can this cable be installed directly underground?
Yes. This cable is specifically designed for direct burial. The galvanized steel wire armour provides strong mechanical protection against external forces, making it ideal for underground installation without the need for additional conduit.
2. What is the maximum current rating for a 3x240 mm² aluminium conductor at 12/20kV?
The current-carrying capacity depends on the installation conditions (buried, in duct, ambient temperature, soil thermal resistivity, etc.). Typically, a 3x240 mm² aluminium conductor can carry approximately 400-450 A under standard buried conditions.
3. Is this cable compliant with international standards?
Yes. The cable is manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-2 for medium voltage cables and can also meet NF C 33-226 or HD 620 standards required in many European and African markets.
4. Can the cable be used in wet or corrosive environments?
Absolutely. The XLPE insulation is highly water-resistant and chemically stable. The steel wire armour adds an extra layer of protection, and the outer sheath (PVC or PE) is resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV.
5. What is the difference between this aluminium cable and a copper version?
Aluminium cables are lighter and more cost-effective than copper cables, especially for large cross-sections like 240 mm². While copper offers higher conductivity, aluminium is a widely accepted alternative for medium voltage transmission, especially in large-scale underground installations.
