Product Description
XLPE Insulation • PVC Sheath • Non-Armored Lightweight Design
YJHLV is a specialized aluminum alloy power cable created for non-direct-buried installations such as conduits, overhead lines, and cable trays.
By removing the heavy armoring structure while preserving the high-performance aluminum alloy core, it solves three common pain points:
- Poor conductivity of ordinary pure aluminum cables
- High material & installation costs of copper-core or armored cables
- Difficult handling and routing due to cable weight
Result: a cable that delivers lightweight installation, stable conductivity, and excellent cost-performance for modern projects.
| Code | Component | Function & Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| YJ | Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Insulation | Designed for continuous service at 90 °C. Low dielectric loss and strong resistance to thermal aging. Offers about 15% higher transmission efficiency than traditional rubber insulation and helps prevent insulation cracking over time. |
| HL | Rare-Earth Aluminum Alloy Conductor | Uses a magnesium-silicon alloy formulation. Conductivity of ≥ 62% IACS, outperforming standard pure aluminum. Delivers around 30% higher mechanical strength, with outstanding anti-creep and anti-fatigue performance. |
| L | Optimized Conductor Structure (Alloy Identifier) | Compact bunch stranding process improves flexibility. Minimum bending radius is about 15 * cable diameter, ideal for complex routing, bends, and multi-layer tray layouts. |
| V | PVC Outer Sheath | Resistant to moisture, oils, and mild acids/alkalis. Provides B1-level flame-retardant performance and UV resistance for outdoor exposure. Typical service life exceeds 20 years in normal use. |
No steel tape armor, which reduces weight and simplifies installation in non-direct-burial environments.
Compared with ordinary aluminum-core cables, YJHLV's rare-earth aluminum alloy:
- Increases conductivity by about 5% (≥ 62% IACS)
- Reduces long-distance transmission loss by roughly 10%
- Fully meets standard 0.6/1 kV distribution requirements
- Resists creep at high temperatures, helping terminals and joints stay tight and secure, cutting maintenance visits by up to 80%
- Upgraded corrosion resistance makes it suitable for humid and mildly saline-alkali environments without extra anti-corrosion treatment in typical applications
By eliminating steel tape armor, YJHLV is about 25-30% lighter than comparable armored cables:
- Many sections can be pulled and routed by one installer, no hoisting or heavy machinery needed
- Excellent flexibility and bending performance, ideal for:
- Concealed pre-embedded conduits in buildings
- Multi-turn cable tray systems
- Long, curved conduit runs
- Lower mass means about 20% reduction in transport costs, helping keep logistics under control even for smaller project batches
- Higher installation efficiency - crews can typically complete routes around 30% faster than with armored alternatives
Compared with copper-core cables:
- Total project cost (material, delivery, and installation) can be 35-45% lower
- Offers comparable conductive performance per cross-section in many low-voltage distribution scenarios
- Particularly suitable for small-to-medium scale projects where budget sensitivity is high
Compared with ordinary aluminum-core cables:
- About 30% stronger in mechanical performance
- Enhanced resistance to aging, supporting long-term use without frequent replacement
- Lower lifetime maintenance and replacement costs
Compared with armored cables (e.g., YJLHV22):
- Avoids "over-protection" where no direct burial or high mechanical load is involved
- No unnecessary armor = leaner bill of materials + lower labor cost
- Perfect fit for indoor and protected outdoor routes where full armoring is not required
YJHLV is engineered to perform reliably in a wide range of typical building and industrial environments:
- Operating temperature: -40 °C to +90°C
- No embrittlement at low temperatures
- No severe softening under normal high-temperature operation
- Protection level: approx. IP54 - guards against dust, splashing water, and minor mechanical impacts
- Insulation resistance: ≥ 100 MΩ*km, making leakage risk extremely low when correctly installed
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor non-extreme environments when appropriately supported and protected
