TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR EARTHING CABLE

Description: Cu/XLPE/(Cu)/PVC

1. Scope

This specification covers single core copper conductor, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated,
PVC outer sheathed cable in accordance with IEC publication 60502-1.

2. Reference Standards

■ IEC 60228: Conductors of insulated cables

■ IEC 60502: Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages
from 1kV (Um=1.2kV) up to 30kV (Um=36kV)
Part 1: Cables for rated voltages of 1kV (Um=1.2kV) and 3kV (Um=3.6kV)

3. Construction and Material

Construction of the cable shall meet the requirements specified in the attached table and as follows.

3.1 Conductor

The conductor of cable shall consist of the compact circular stranded from the plain annealed copper
wires in accordance with IEC 60228 (class 2).

3.2 Insulation

The insulation shall consist of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). The minimum thickness at any point
shall be not less than 90% of the nominal value specified in the attached table by more than 0.1mm

Suitable tape(s) maybe applied over the insulation as bedding.

3.4 Outer sheath

The Outer sheath shall consist of an extruded black PVC compound.

The minimum thickness at any point shall be not less than 85% of the nominal value specified in the
attached table by more than 0.1mm

4. Cable marking
The following description shall be printed on the PVC outer sheath throughout the entire length of the
cable:
1. Manufacturer's name (LS-VINA Cable & System)
2. Cable type (Cu/XLPE/PVC)
3. Cross-sectional area of the conductor and rate voltage (240SQMM 3kV)
4. Year of manufacture (2022)

Ex.: LS-VINA Cable & System Cu/XLPE/PVC 240SQMM 3kV Year of manufacture
