Designed for the operational characteristics of 35kV high-voltage medium-voltage systems, this product offers several unique advantages over traditional low-voltage and medium-voltage cables:
The thickened, specially formulated cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation layer perfectly matches the extreme electric fields of 35kV systems. Combined with a high-level double-layer shielding system, the cable permanently maintains extremely low partial discharge levels. This effectively resists electrical treeing and insulation aging caused by long-term high electric fields, voltage fluctuations, and switching operations. Stable dielectric performance prevents insulation breakdown and line interruptions, ensuring the safe operation of regional core trunk lines.
The high-density copper conductor features low DC resistance and excellent heat dissipation. During long-distance transmission, it minimizes power attenuation and heat accumulation. For inter-regional power transmission and large-capacity load supply, it reduces the overall energy consumption of the power system and brings continuous economic benefits to project operators throughout the service life.
The upgraded double-layer steel strip armor structure significantly improves mechanical strength, enabling it to withstand damage commonly encountered in open-air, roadside, and underground laying, including ground subsidence, heavy vehicle traffic, accidental excavation, external impacts, and rodent damage. For projects with large scale and complex terrain, it can significantly reduce the frequency of cable damage and the workload of daily maintenance.
XLPE material maintains stable physical and electrical properties even under long-term continuous operation at 90℃, without softening, deformation, or cracking. The high-strength outer sheath effectively resists UV radiation, drastic temperature changes, and natural weathering. This product is suitable for various climate zones, whether deeply buried underground or partially exposed outdoors.
The multi-layered, tightly assembled structure forms an airtight waterproof barrier, effectively preventing groundwater and humid air from penetrating the cable core. The optimized sheath formulation gives it excellent resistance to salt spray, saline-alkali soils, and corrosive industrial gases. This product can operate reliably in harsh environments such as coastal areas, chemical industrial zones, and humid mountainous regions.
Standard cables inherently possess flame-retardant properties, effectively limiting the spread of flames along the cable path. Customized fire-resistant cables ensure normal power supply for emergency and critical loads during fire accidents. Low-smoke halogen-free cables produce virtually no smoke or toxic gases when burning, fully complying with the stringent fire protection standards for national key infrastructure, enclosed utility tunnels, and public lifeline projects.
All structural dimensions and technical parameters conform to globally unified standards, fully compatible with mainstream 35kV cable terminals, joints, fittings, and fixing accessories worldwide. No specially customized supports are required. Reasonable stiffness and bending performance enable them to adapt to applications such as long-distance cabling, large-radius bends, and concentrated cable tunnel installations, thereby optimizing construction efficiency.

This 26/35kV YJV22 cable is positioned as a high-grade medium-voltage transmission trunk cable, mainly used in large-scale, high-reliability engineering projects:
Used for main outgoing lines of urban and rural 35kV main substations, inter-substation connection lines, inter-regional power distribution, and large-scale power grid upgrade and renovation projects. It undertakes the power dispatch and transmission tasks of the entire regional power grid and is a core link in urban and rural power supply.
Used for main outgoing lines of traditional power plants, large wind farms, and centralized photovoltaic power stations.

Standardized guidelines for design, laying, testing, and operation of 35kV cables have been developed to address the high voltage level and important application characteristics:
Preferred laying methods: direct burial, large cable corridors, buried conduits, and dedicated cable trenches. Long-distance overhead laying is not recommended. Sections crossing roads, railways, rivers, and building foundations should use thickened steel pipes or reinforced concrete culverts for secondary protection. Use professional heavy-duty cable clamps to avoid sheath wear caused by the cable's own weight.
Before design, it is essential to strictly verify that the rated voltage of the power system is 26/35kV. Accurately calculate the total load current and peak inrush current based on the total capacity of the connected equipment. Reserve sufficient current-carrying margin to cope with load increases and transient impacts. Overload operation is strictly prohibited to prevent accelerated aging of the insulation layer.
During cable laying, strictly control the minimum bending radius according to technical requirements. Excessive bending will damage the high-grade shielding layer and insulation structure, and may cause partial discharge. Keep cables away from sharp metal parts and highly corrosive substances. When the ambient temperature is below 0℃, use suspended construction to prevent sheath embrittlement and cracking. When directly buried, lay graded fine sand and protective bricks according to specifications.
In coastal areas, saline-alkali lands, and heavily polluted industrial zones, specialized high-voltage, waterproof, and corrosion-resistant 35kV cable accessories should be selected, and all joints should be fully sealed and waterproofed. All connection points should be located in well-ventilated, dry, and easily accessible areas, and clearly marked for subsequent maintenance.
Before formal energization, a power frequency withstand voltage test and partial discharge detection should be completed, and all indicators must meet the standard requirements. A dedicated long-term inspection mechanism for the 35kV trunk line should be established, with regular insulation resistance tests, partial discharge monitoring, and visual inspections to promptly eliminate potential hazards.
