N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable

N2XBY 0.6/1kV are low voltage power cables designed according to BS 5467 standard, suitable for fixed installation in indoor, outdoor, underground, Cable ducts or conduits, or concrete (not subject to vibration) environments. Featuring stranded copper conductors, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, PVC bedding, galvanised steel wire armour (SWA), and PVC outer sheath, it fully complies with IEC 60502-1 standards. The steel wire armour provides excellent mechanical protection against impacts, rodents, and crushing forces, making it perfect for direct burial. Widely used in industrial plants, infrastructure projects, and utility networks requiring reliable, protected low-voltage power supply underground or outdoors.

N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable
N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

For the N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable, raw material testing begins with copper certification for oxygen content and mechanical properties. XLPE granules are tested for crosslinking agent, contamination, and thermal endurance via hot set pre-checks. PVC compounds undergo Congo red testing, volume resistivity, and migration analysis. Steel wires are checked for galvanization mass, diameter tolerance, and breaking load. The structured process: receipt documentation review, random sampling, physical/mechanical testing (yield, elongation), chemical verification using spectroscopy, corrosion and aging simulation trials, and material release decision. This ensures defect-free inputs, providing the base for the N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable's conductivity, insulation quality, and robust armour performance.

N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable Process inspection

Process inspection

Process inspection in N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable production involves multi-point quality assurance. Conductor stranding monitors surface defects and compactness. XLPE insulation extrusion ensures bonding with capacitance gauges. Bedding layer prepares uniform base for armouring. Steel wire application controls helical lay, tension balance, and coverage. Sheath extrusion includes online spark testing and thickness uniformity. Critical steps: pre-extrusion compound verification, parameter stabilization, real-time dimension scanning, armour wire overlap measurement, sampling for gel fraction, and defect removal protocols. This ensures the N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable maintains precise construction, strong armour integrity, and IEC compliance throughout manufacturing.

N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable Finished Product

Finished Product

Completed N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable reels face strict factory tests. Key routines: DC resistance, high-potential AC test in water, insulation resistance, thickness, and armour DC continuity. Mechanical endurance via impact, crushing, and pulling tests. Flame propagation and heat shock evaluations follow. The sequential process: conditioning, voltage/mechanical load application, timed exposure monitoring, recovery inspection, property re-measurement, and documentation. Additional checks cover outer diameter and weight. Passing all verifies the N2XBY 0.6/1kV Low Voltage Power Cable's mechanical protection, electrical reliability, and suitability for buried low-voltage networks.

Application

Excellent for underground power distribution in chemical plants, mining areas, railways, and urban developments. Commonly direct-buried for supplying transformers, switchgear, and motors where high mechanical protection against external forces is required.

FAQ From Customers

What are the advantages of power cables and overhead lines?
(1) Reliable operation, because it is installed in a hidden place such as underground, it is less damaged by external forces, has less chance of failure, and the power supply is safe, and it will not cause harm to people;
(2) The maintenance workload is small and frequent inspections are not required;
(3) No need to erect towers;
(4) Help improve power factor.
Which aspects should be considered when choosing the cross section of a power cable?
(1) The long-term allowable working current of the cable;
(2) Thermal stability once short circuited;
(3) The voltage drop on the line cannot exceed the allowable working range.
What are the measures for cable fire prevention?
(1) Use flame-retardant cables;
(2) Use fireproof cable tray;
(3) Use fireproof paint;
(4) Fire partition walls and fire baffles are installed at cable tunnels, mezzanine exits, etc.;
(5) Overhead cables should avoid oil pipelines and explosion-proof doors, otherwise local pipes or heat insulation and fire prevention measures should be taken.
What should be paid attention to during the transportation and handling of cables?
(1) During transportation, loading and unloading, cables and cable reels should not be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to push the cable reels directly from the vehicle. Generally, cables should not be transported and stored flat.
(2) Before transporting or rolling the cable reel, ensure that the cable reel is firm, the cable is wound tightly, the oil pipe between the oil-filled cable and the pressure oil tank should be fixed without damage, the pressure oil tank should be firm, and the pressure indication should meet the requirements.
What inspections should be carried out for the acceptance of cable lines?
(1) The cable specifications should meet the regulations, the arrangement should be neat, no damage, and the signs should be complete, correct and clear;
(2) The fixed bending radius of the cable, the related distance and the wiring of the metal sheath of the single-core power cable should meet the requirements;
(3) The cable terminal and the middle head should not leak oil, and the installation should be firm. The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable and the meter setting should meet the requirements;
(4) Good grounding;
(5) The color of the cable terminal is correct, and the metal parts such as the bracket are completely painted;
(6) There should be no debris in the cable trench, tunnel, and bridge, and the cover should be complete.
