Productoverzicht
Productbeschrijving
WDZ-YJLHY23 is a medium-voltage, low-smoke, halogen-free steel-tape armored power cable with a rated voltage of 26/35kV. It uses a high-performance aluminum alloy compacted conductor instead of the traditional copper core and is independently developed for medium-voltage power transmission projects in long-distance overhead transition sections, direct burial, and corrosive geological environments.
- WDZ:
- Low-smoke, halogen-free. The insulation layer, inner core, and outer sheath are all made of halogen-free flame-retardant polymers and do not contain halogen-containing raw materials such as PVC.
- YJLH:
- High-ductility aluminum alloy conductor. The optimized alloy composition formula provides superior creep resistance and tensile strength compared to ordinary pure aluminum conductors.
- Y:
- XLPE cross-linked polyethylene insulation.
- 23:
- Double-layer steel tape armor + PE outer sheath composite protection structure. A typical flat steel tape armor design, suitable for underground trench and direct burial installations.
Compared to traditional copper-core YJV23-35kV cables, its core differentiating features are: the use of aluminum alloy conductors, achieving a lightweight layout, lower overall raw material costs, and superior creep resistance; the WDZ all-LSZH structure meets the fire safety requirements of urban utility tunnels and densely laid cable channels. It is mainly used for main lines of centralized photovoltaic/wind farms, municipal and rural power grid upgrades, distribution trunk lines in coastal corrosive soil areas, and external medium-voltage incoming lines in chemical industrial parks. It features a standard three-core integral stranded structure, and single-core layouts can be customized according to special engineering designs.
